Question

what does the verbal irony in this text suggest? \that fits you well,\ troy remarked after ariels cap fell over her eyes for the tenth time. the cap was too big. the cap looked nice on ariel. the cap was a good fit.

Explanation:

Verbal irony involves saying the opposite of what is meant. Here, Troy says "That fits you well" but the cap fell over Ariel's eyes ten times, implying the cap was not fitting well (so it was too big). The other options ("The cap looked nice on Ariel", "The cap was a good fit") go against the irony as the cap's repeated falling shows it didn't fit or look good in a functional way.

Answer:

The cap was too big.
