Question

after spilling milk all over the table, julia sighed, \well, thats just perfect.\ what makes this verbal irony? she really believes that spilling milk is perfect. she says \perfect,\ but she really means its bad. she spilled the milk so she could get out of class.

Explanation:

Verbal irony occurs when a speaker says one thing but means the opposite. Spilling milk is generally an unwanted and bad - thing, and when Julia says "that's just perfect", she doesn't actually think it's perfect but rather something negative.

Answer:

She says "perfect," but she really means it's bad.
