Answer 1

The correct response is Both verbal irony and rhetorical questioning.

The statement expresses verbal irony because the student is implying that homework on a Friday night is unenjoyable, yet they state it in a way that sounds like they are praising it. Additionally, the way the statement is framed suggests that it is a rhetorical question, as it implies no one would actually find homework better than other activities on a Friday night.
