question 9 of 20
which of the following statements is an example of sarcasm?

a. jon says his wife is the most beautiful woman in the world.

b. \you couldve knocked me over with a feather,\ ava exclaimed.

c. \oh, goody,\ tina said grumpily, \canned spinach again.\

d. \that geometry final wasnt exactly a walk in the park,\ zach said.

Explanation:

Sarcasm involves saying the opposite of what one really means, often with a mocking or annoyed tone. In option C, Tina says "Oh, goody" (a positive phrase) but her tone is grumpy, showing she dislikes canned spinach, so this is sarcasm. Option A is a sincere compliment, B is a hyperbole (exaggeration), and D is a figurative way to say the test was hard, not sarcasm.

Answer:

C. "Oh, goody," Tina said grumpily, "canned spinach again."
