Question

What great weather we are having; thunder and lightning always make an outdoor pool party fun!

What is the verbal irony in this statement?

The thunder and lightning was unexpected but will make the party fun.

We know thunder and lightning ruin a pool party but the speaker does not.

Thunder and lightning will ruin a pool party, so the weather really isn't "great."

Nice weather is characterized by thunder and lightning.

Answer 15

"The expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite" I.e. the opposite of what is meant, is said. Sarcasm always has a biting quality and, though it is usually used that way, need not be ironic. Assuming basic knowledge of weather and parties it gets easy to see why c was correct :) Though I agree the answers could have been written better!
