Question

what does the verbal irony in this text suggest?
\sleeping through the rooster’s crowing was no problem,\ felix joked with a yawn.
felix finds roosters amusing.
felix slept poorly.

Explanation:

Verbal irony involves saying the opposite of what is true. Felix yawns while saying sleeping through the rooster’s crowing was no problem. A yawn suggests tiredness, implying he actually had trouble sleeping (so "Felix slept poorly" fits the irony: he claims it was no problem but his yawn shows otherwise). The other option about finding roosters amusing isn't supported by the irony context here.

Answer:

Felix slept poorly
