what is the verbal irony
Peter was excited about his new phone. He ran into the cafeteria to show his best friend, Mark. As Peter ran across the room, he tripped over Ellen Carson’s backpack. He went flying across the lunch table where the swim team was eating. Lunch trays, cups, food, and drink went spilling over the neighboring tables. Peter skidded to a stop in front of Mark, as Mark was doused with juice. “My, that was graceful,” said Mark.

Answer:
Verbal irony is when the intended meaning of a statement is the opposite of what the statement appears to mean.
Example: A mother surveys her son’s messy room as he watches television. “I’m so glad you decided to clean up your room.”
The mother in the example is not glad, nor has the son decided to clean up. Her underlying statement is the opposite of what
the words mean on the surface.
