The irony can be seen in the sentence "George believes that the idea of competition is an old-fashioned and unhealthy idea," as option A shows.

What is irony?

  • It is a literary device.
  • It is the presentation of an idea that represents something, but establishes something opposite to its meaning.

George is a character who represents literary irony. This is because he strongly disagrees with the social equalization tactic that the state promotes. For this reason, he recognizes that the competition that the state promotes is an old and unhealthy idea.

With these positions, the reader expects George to be against the State and fight to overthrow its control of the population, but what happens is the opposite, because George supports the State and has full confidence in everything the State says.
