Question Use the paragraph to answer the question. Earlier in the day, Sam’s mom told him to clean his room; however, Sam was too busy gaming and talking on the phone with his friends to be bothered with cleaning his room. Later in the day, Sam’s mom passes by his open bedroom door and sees how filthy his room is and says, ”Great job cleaning your room!” Then she tells him, “Just wait until your father gets home! I doubt he’ll be willing to keep the gaming system in your room anymore.” Which of the sentences in the paragraph above is an example of verbal irony? (1 point) Responses Earlier in the day, Sam’s mom told him to clean his room. Earlier in the day, Sam’s mom told him to clean his room. Sam was too busy gaming…to be bothered with cleaning his room. Sam was too busy gaming…to be bothered with cleaning his room. "Great job cleaning your room!" "Great job cleaning your room!" "Just wait until your father gets home!"
"Just wait until your father gets home!" is an example of verbal irony in the paragraph above. This is because Sam's room is actually very dirty, so his mother saying "Great job cleaning your room!" is the opposite of what she actually means.
