William wanted to try for the basketball team. His parents would not allow him to until he had a B average in all of his classes. Despite his best efforts, William could not get higher than a C in biology. Tryouts were scheduled for Friday, and the quarter grades had not been posted yet. On Wednesday William talked to his biology teacher, Mrs. Simpson, and pleaded with her to give him a B. She promised she would think about it and let him know. On Thursday morning Mrs. Simpson emailed William’s mother and explained she could not give William a B; he must earn it. William’s mother read the email and called William’s father. That afternoon Mrs. Simpson tells William he’ll be getting a C. John decided that he would tell his parents he’s getting a B and go to the tryouts. He’ll know if he has made the team by the time the official grades come out. If he’s made the team, perhaps he can convince his parents to let him continue on the basketball team. At dinner Thursday night William tells his parents he’s made a B in biology. He’s quite surprised when his announcement is met by stunned silence. * A: Verbal irony
B. Situational irony
C. Dramatic irony
