Question

what does the verbal irony in this text suggest?
\it was my good luck to have to study for a test while all my friends went to the water park,\ ezra remarked.
ezra was upset about staying home.
ezra wanted time to catch up on his responsibilities.

Explanation:

Verbal irony is when someone says the opposite of what they really mean. Ezra says "It was my good luck..." but his friends are at the water park (having fun) while he has to study. The second option "Ezra was upset about staying home" shows he's not actually lucky—he's upset, so the irony suggests he's upset (since studying instead of going to the park with friends is not good luck, so the irony hints his true feeling is being upset about staying home). The third option is about wanting time for responsibilities, which isn't tied to the irony of the "good luck" statement.

Answer:

Ezra was upset about staying home
