mark antony calls brutus -an honorable man|| many times but he actually provides evidence that brutus is not honorable.

Explanation:

For the first question, without seeing the passage, we can analyze the options. Scientific and scholarly diction is technical and research - based. Casual and everyday is informal. Poetic and fanciful uses vivid and imaginative language. Serious and formal is dignified and proper. For the second question, irony is when there is a contrast between what is said and what is meant. Mark Antony repeatedly calling Brutus an honorable man while showing he is not is a classic example of verbal irony.

Answer:

For the first question: Without the passage, cannot be determined precisely.
For the second question: Mark Antony calls Brutus "an honorable man" many times but he actually provides evidence that Brutus is not honorable.
