Question

Which of these sentences from the short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman uses verbal irony?

I got up softly and went to feel and see if the paper did move, and when I came back John was awake.

It is so hard to talk to John about my case, because he is so wise, and because he loves me so.

But I am securely fastened now by my well-hidden rope—you don't get me out in the road there!
