Which sentences in this excerpt from mark twain’s “the danger of lying in bed” are examples of verbal irony? san francisco is one-eighth as populous as new york; there are 60 deaths a week in the former and 500 a week in the latter—if they have luck. that is 3,120 deaths a year in san francisco, and eight times as many in new york—say about 25,000 or 26,000. the health of the two places is the same. so we will let it stand as a fair presumption that this will hold good all over the country, and that consequently 25,000 out of every million of people we have must die every year. that amounts to one-fortieth of our total population. one million of us, then, die annually. out of this million ten or twelve thousand are stabbed, shot, drowned, hanged, poisoned, or meet a similarly violent death in some other popular way, such as perishing by kerosene-lamp and hoop-skirt conflagrations, getting buried in coal-mines, falling off house-tops, breaking through church, or lecture-

Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:

"Which sentences in this excerpt from Mark Twain’s “The Danger of Lying in Bed” are examples of verbal irony? San Francisco is one-eighth as populous as New York; there are 60 deaths a week in the former and 500 a week in the latter—if they have luck. That is 3,120 deaths a year in San Francisco, and eight times as many in New York—say about 25,000 or 26,000. The health of the two places is the same. So we will let it stand as a fair presumption that this will hold good all over the country, and that consequently 25,000 out of every million of people we have must die every year. That amounts to one fortieth of our total population. One million of us, then, die annually. Out of this million ten or twelve thousand are stabbed, shot, drowned, hanged, poisoned, or meet a similarly violent death in some other popular way, such as perishing by kerosene-lamp and hoop-skirt conflagrations, getting buried in coal-mines, falling off house-tops, breaking through church, or lecture-room floors, taking patent medicines, or committing su*c*de in other forms. The Erie railroad kills 23 to 46; the other 845 railroads kill an average of one-third of a man each; and the rest of that million, amounting in the aggregate to that appalling figure of 987,631 corpses, die naturally in their beds! You will excuse me from taking any more chances on those beds. The railroads are good enough for me. And my advice to all people is, Don't stay at home any more than you can help; but when you have GOT to stay at home a while, buy a package of those insurance tickets and sit up nights. You cannot be too cautious. "

"And my advice to all people is, Don't stay at home any more than you can help; but when you have GOT to stay at home a while, buy a package of those insurance tickets and sit up nights. You cannot be too cautious."

Explanation:

Verbal irony is one that presents a differentiation between the spoken expression and its real intention. That is when the one being ironic says something but with another meaning. Or, when the literal meaning of the spoken words is opposite to the intended expression. In short, verbal ironial is a statement where the character or speaker speaks something that has the opposite meaning to what has been said. This kind of irony is used to create humor in the plot.

In the text shown above, we can see that the paragraph that best fits the concept of verbal irony is:

"And my advice to all people is, Don't stay at home any more than you can help; but when you have GOT to stay at home a while, buy a package of those insurance tickets and sit up nights. You cannot be too cautious."
