Question

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

Explanation:

Verbal irony is when someone says the opposite of what they really mean. Kiera says "Someone had better turn on the heat" but she has sweat on her face, implying she's too warm, so the irony suggests the temperature was too warm (since she's hot but jokingly asks for heat, contrasting with her actual discomfort).

Answer:

The temperature was too warm.
