Question

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

Explanation:

Verbal irony involves saying the opposite of what is true. Kelsey's cap fell over her eyes ten times, indicating it didn't fit well. Bert's statement "That fits you well" is ironic, so the reality is the cap was too big (since it kept falling over her eyes, showing it was ill - fitting, and the irony means the opposite of the stated "good fit" is true). The option "The cap was a good fit" goes against the irony and the evidence from the cap falling. "The cap looked nice on Kelsey" is not related to the fit (the issue is about how the cap fits, not its appearance).

Answer:

The cap was too big.
