Question

PLEASE HELP!!

How are these verbal irony?

1. "Don't talk rot, Whitney," said Rainsford. "You're a big game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?"
"Perhaps the jaguar does," observed Whitney. "Bah! They have no understanding" (Rainsford)

2. "I have electricity. We try to be civilized here." (General Zaroff)
"Civilized? And you shoot down men?" (Rainsford)​

Answer 1

1. Whitney is a big game hunter but in this moment realizes that hunting is not fun because it hurts animals.

2. General Zaroff thinks he's civilized but he hunts men, which is the opposite of being civilized.

Step-by-step explanation:

Verbal means spoken. Irony is the opposite of what's expected. In both instances, they are making ironic statements.
