The scenario that would be considered irony rather than coincidence is:
**The author of the best-selling book couldn't read very well.**
This situation is ironic because it contrasts the expectation that a best-selling author would have strong reading skills, highlighting an unexpected or contradictory outcome. The other scenarios involve situations that could happen coincidentally without an ironic twist.
