Read this statement written about the Titanic:
"In 1912, the Titanic was 100% unsinkable, yet the ship sank on its maiden voyage."
This statement is an example of:
-irony
-pun
-figurative language
-descriptive language
They said it was 100% unsinkable, yet the ship sank. Well, if it was 100% unsinkable then it wouldn't have sunk then, would it? Irony by definition is opposite of the literal meaning.
