The statement "Janelle's words are the opposite of what she means" best captures the irony of the italicized phrases in the first paragraph. Irony often arises when there is a contrast between what is said and what is actually meant or understood. If Janelle's words convey a meaning contrary to her true feelings or intentions, this creates an ironic situation.
