Which of these situations best shows irony? a. a highway patrol officer likes to spend the day driving. b. a highway patrol officer has to go to driving school for too many speeding tickets. c. a highway patrol officer pulls over a beautiful woman for speeding. d. a highway patrol officer wears a dirty uniform because he forgot to do laundry.

The best answer is: "B. A highway patrol officer has to go to driving school for too many speeding tickets".

Explanation:

Letter A is not the best answer for it may be true the statement that the highway patrol really likes to spend the day driving because it is part of their job, then, although it sounds ironic it is not actually, it only means part of their work. Letter C is also not the best answer because it is only a normal statement. Letter D is not the best answer either, for it sounds like a possible true statement and a normal one. Then, letter B is the best answer because it is ironic to say that the professionals responsible for giving traffic fines are getting a lot of them as much as they need to go back to the driving school.
