Which Definition This Course Follows
Captions available
The idea
The course follows the glossary, because it is the fuller account and matches standard usage. The chapter's definition describes only situational irony while presenting itself as a definition of irony generally, so a candidate using it would have no name for the verbal irony this exam tests most.
In practice
The course follows the glossary.
Where people slip
The chapter's version omits verbal irony.
