Dramatic Irony
Situational Irony
Verbal Irony

Answer 1

Here are the matches for each type of irony with the correct example:

1. Verbal Irony: Maria looked at her worst enemy with hatred. "It's nice to see you," she said.
   (This is verbal irony because she says something that contradicts her true feelings.)

2. Dramatic Irony: Alongside the boat, the school of sharks gathered. Oblivious, Ted stepped on the rail and prepared to jump in.
   (This is dramatic irony because the audience knows the danger of the sharks, while Ted does not.)

3. Situational Irony: Suzanne smiled as she walked down the wedding aisle to meet her future husband. But when the ring came out, she swiped it from the ringbearer, put on her sneakers, and ran.
   (This is situational irony because the outcome of the wedding scenario is unexpected and contrary to what one would typically expect.)
