Which scenario would show an example of situational irony?

Portia does not believe that Brutus is telling the truth when he tells her he is simply ill.

Brutus lies to Portia about his health, knowing that he is fine.

Portia says that Brutus is wise, because if he were not in health, he would try to get well.

Brutus says that he is about to do something that will make him well, but ends up killing himself.

The scenario which would show an example of situational irony is 'Brutus says that he is about to do something that will make him well, but ends up killing himself.'

Explanation:

In literature, situational irony is a situation where something totally different happens or occurs than what was being expected. The outcome  contradicts to expectations. In the sentence, 'Brutus says that he is about to do something that will make him well, but ends up killing himself' we can see how the situational irony occurred. On one hand Brutus says that he is going to do something that will make him well, but on the other hand he takes up his own life which was totally unexpected for readers.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
