Henry Slesar uses irony in "Examination Day" by setting up a dystopian society where children are tested and killed if they fail to meet a certain standard. The irony lies in the extreme measures taken to maintain order and conformity in the society, revealing the dangers of placing too much emphasis on standardized testing and perfection.
because he was too smart and i personally think that the government is onto something and they dont want people finding out but if they arnet smart then they cant figure it out

Verbal irony: "Wow, what a beautiful day," said on a rainy and stormy day. Situational irony: A fire station catching on fire or a lifeguard drowning are examples of situational irony where the opposite of what is expected to happen occurs.
A non-example of irony could be a straightforward statement or situation where there is no contrast between what is expected and what actually happens, such as stating the sky is blue on a clear day.

Situational irony: A fire station burns down. Verbal irony: Saying "What a beautiful day!" in the midst of a storm. Dramatic irony: The audience knows a character's fate, but the character does not.
Irony is used to hide the true meaning of what is really wanted to be said. You're incredibly beautiful, it has been said to an ugly woman is an example of irony.

When it is raining outside, and someone says "Oh! What a beautiful day!"
That would be verbal irony, where the speaker says the opposite of what they really mean for emphasis or humor. For example, saying "What a beautiful day" when it is actually raining.
In "All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury, the verbal irony lies in the children eagerly awaiting the one day of sunshine on Venus, only for Margot to miss experiencing it because they lock her in a closet. This creates a stark contrast between the expectations of the children and the reality of Margot's situation.
