No 1 is irony of situation because,What James expected of Lawyer is for him to secure admission for Maanan,even wen Maanan & her mother complain to James abt Lawyer B approach to dia daughter,he did nt believe dem cos he trust his friend bt only to witness d unexpected from his so called friend even in his own house.Isn't dat an Irony?
den No 5 is oxymoron because of d "ugly paper flower" flower is mean't to b beautiful not ugly so dey are contradictory.
