The people separated good-humoredly to let her through: two or three people said, in voices just loud enough to be heard across the crowd, "here comes your missus, hutchinson," and "bill, she made it after all." mrs. hutchinson reached her husband, and mr. summers, who had been waiting, said cheerfully, "thought we were going to have to get on without you, tessie." mrs. hutchinson said grinning, "wouldn't have me leave m'dishes in the sink, now, would you, joe? " and soft laughter ran through the crowd as the people stirred back into position after mrs. hutchinson's arrival. which line from the excerpt contains irony? a. “bill, she made it after all.” b.“thought we were going to have to get on without you, tessie.” c. “wouldn’t have me leave m’dishes in the sink, now, would you, joe? ” d. “here comes your missus, hutchinson.”

The correct answer and the line from the excerpt that contains irony is B."Thought we were going to have to get on without you, Tessie."

This excerpt belongs to Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" (1948). The story describes how in a small town they celebrate a ritual called "the lottery" in which the person who gets the marked slip is killed.

At first, if you haven't read the story you might not get the irony in the excerpt, but knowing that in the end Tessie "wins" the lottery and is stoned to death as a result, the irony lies in the fact that they will actually "have to get on without" her not because she does not show up for the ritual, but because she wins the lottery and is murdered.
