Explanation:

1. Situational Irony occurs when the actual result of a situation is totally different from what you’d expect the result to be. When Jim brought combs for Della's hair, you'd expect her to be happy and used the comb, right? but no, she had cut her hair which is unexpected.

2. Dramatic irony is when readers knew something happened to a character that other characters in the story or show knew nothing about. We, readers knew that Della cut her hair, but did Jim knew? He didn't.

3. Verbal irony occurs when characters say the opposite thing of what they're saying. It has no mention of verbal irony in the story.
