Which sentence includes an example of situational irony?

The Bellmaker’s Apprentice When Tomas was twelve, he became an apprentice to Master Bellmaker Aldric, the most respected craftsman in the region. Aldric had spent forty years shaping bronze and tuning bells for cathedrals and villages alike. Tomas, who had never left his farming village before, was both excited and terrified. In his first month, Tomas swept the dusty floors and polished the smallest tools. He listened more than he spoke, watching the way Aldric tapped the edge of each bell with a wooden mallet, listening for tones Tomas could not yet hear. Months passed. Tomas learned to melt metal, pour it into molds, and file away imperfections. He burned his hands. He broke two hammers. He once ruined a small chapel bell. But Aldric never yelled. “You learn by doing,” he would say. “Mistakes mean you’re trying.” Two years into his apprenticeship, Tomas was allowed to design his first bell. It was for a village that had recently built a new clocktower. He drew sketches, calculated weight, and even etched a carving of a wheat stalk—a symbol of the town’s harvest. When it was finally hoisted into the tower, Tomas waited for the sound. The first chime sang out across the hills. It was not perfect. It was better.
