Answer 3

You're right, option a is also correct. Verbal irony refers to a situation where a character says the opposite of what they actually mean, while situational irony involves a contrast between what the audience knows and what the character expects. Both options a and d accurately describe the difference between verbal irony and situational irony. My apologies for not including option a in my initial response.
