Question
Our school had invited an astronaut for a guest appearance. We were expecting to be thrilled by her presentation on her journey to the space. The speech was informative alright, but it was more about the spaceship than the space. Apparently, some astronauts never get out of their spaceship. Then, she talked about the training people have to go through to become astronauts. I was surprised to see our science teacher, Mr. Houser, sitting all wide-eyed and awe-struck by the lecture.
At the end of the presentation, Mr. Houser asked me about it since I was sitting up front. "How about it, son? Wasn't that just marvelous?"
Failing to hide my lack of enthusiasm, I said, "_______"
What should the speaker say at the end of the story to demonstrate verbal irony?
A.
I couldn't have been more excited!
B.
You can't possibly be serious, sir!
C.
Actually, I was very bored.
D.
What does an astronaut do?
