What type of irony is used in the following passage? Max hated Brussels sprouts, but his Dad always made him eat them. One night an idea came to Max that would allow him to escape this cruel fate. He decided that he would feed the Brussels sprouts to his dog. This went well at first. The dog hungrily consumed the sprouts. Max's dad was pleased too. He congratulated Max on eating them all. "Normally it's a pain to get you to eat those, Max," He said. "I'm glad that you stepped it up." Max basked in his father's approval and felt quite clever. Then his dog let out a yelp. Max grew concerned. The dog was walking in a circle and hacking. His Dad asked, "What's wrong, Boy?" Max attempted to distract his father as he tended to the dog, "He probably just needs some space, Dad." Max's father looked at him curiously, right as the dog vomited a stream of Brussels sprouts.
