What type of irony involves events that turn out the opposite of what was expected?

  1. Situational

  2. Dramatic

  3. Verbal

  4. osmic

The correct answer is: Situational

Situational irony involves events that turn out the opposite of what was expected. This is different from dramatic irony, where the audience is aware of a situation that the characters are not. Verbal irony involves saying something but meaning the opposite. Option D, "osmic," is not a valid type of irony and is therefore incorrect.
