Which excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" is an example of irony?

a. Professor Barnhouse closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and stroked his temples. He held the position for a minute.

b. At ten minutes before H-hour the general came in, shepherding the professor before him. The professor was comfortably attired in sneakers, gray flannels, a blue sweater, and a white shirt open at the neck.

c. The tenth still told me nothing. It was only last night that I discovered how it fitted in with the rest. The sentence appeared in my thoughts last night, while I was toying absently with the professor's dice.

It is letter B. The story appears as a report composed by an ex-understudy of the story's hero, Professor Arthur Barnhouse. Eighteen months previously the written work of the report the teacher builds up the capacity to influence physical articles and occasions through the power of his brain; he comes to call this power 'dynamopsychism', while the press embraces the term 'the Barnhouse impact'. At the point when Barnhouse wrongly informs the US administration of his freshly discovered capacities, they attempt to transform him into a weapon.

Answer:

B. At ten minutes before H-hour the general came in, shepherding the professor before him. The professor was comfortably attired in sneakers, gray flannels, a blue sweater, and a white shirt open at the neck.
