Answer 2

In light of Dr. Sadao's situation, the above statement is ironic.

The following points elaborate the given options concerning Sadao's situation-

1. Humorous- Dr. Sadao is in a situation where he has to choose between his patriotism, i.e., his nation and his profession. He was helping a wounded soldier from the war who belonged to the other country that his own country, Japan was fighting with. Hence, this statement is not humorous because Sadao wanted that soldier dead however, he chose his profession over his nationalism and decided to help him heal and escape.
2. Critical- The situation is very critical because by helping an enemy of the country, Dr. Sadao is putting himself in danger too. If his countrymen find out they will kill Dr. Sadao.
3. Ironical- Dr. Sado does not want that man to live yet he helped him escape and cure because of his profession. Hence, the statement is ironic.
4. Serious- The statement is the epitome of dr. Sadao's love for his nation yet he does not kill the soldier. Therefore, the statement is true but not serious.
