When Aaliyah’s father saw her applying nail polish instead of doing her math homework, he said, “You look like you’re working very hard. I’m sure you’ll do great on your test tomorrow.” Which type of irony is being used here? How do you know? (2 points)

The type of irony being used in this situation is verbal irony. This can be deduced from the fact that Aaliyah's father is saying one thing ("I'm sure you'll do great on your test tomorrow") while implying the opposite (that Aaliyah is not actually putting in effort or focusing on her academics).
