question 10 of 20
which of the following statements is an example of sarcasm?

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

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

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

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

Explanation:

Sarcasm involves saying the opposite of one’s true feeling with a tone that reveals the contradiction. Tina uses "Oh, goody" (a positive phrase) while speaking "grumpily" about unwanted canned spinach, showing her actual dislike—this is sarcasm. Option B is hyperbole, C is a sincere statement, and D is an understatement/idiom, not sarcasm.

Answer:

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