Question

what does the verbal irony in this text suggest? \someone had better turn on the heat,\ clara said, sweat glistening on her face. the temperature was just right. the temperature was too warm.

Explanation:

Verbal irony occurs when a speaker says the opposite of what they mean. Clara is sweating, which signals the space is warm, yet she says to turn on the heat (which would make it warmer). This means her actual message is that the temperature is too warm.

Answer:

The temperature was too warm.
