Question

What type of irony is used in the following line:

Phineas: Who would have thought that a drummer from a rock-'n'-roll band would end up in a place so quiet?


Dramatic Irony


Verbal Irony



Situational Irony

Answer 1

The line provided demonstrates **situational irony**. Situational irony occurs when there is a discrepancy between what is expected to happen and what actually happens. In this case, the expectation is that a drummer from a loud and energetic rock-'n'-roll band would be in a lively or chaotic environment, not in a quiet place. The contrast between the character's background and the setting creates the irony.
