## Step 1<br />The problem is a comprehension question from a literature text, specifically from Chapter 37. The question asks us to identify the ironic situation in Boythe Volta's journal entry. Irony is a literary device where the intended meaning of words is different from their actual meaning.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The options provided are:<br />a) Boythe Volta believes that they are taking the ideas of Beythe Goddard too far, and plans to glean them himself.<br />b) He thinks that their sense of duty to the Bcythedom is warped and must be reported.<br />c) He is put off by their discussion of how they would self-glean when it turns out he is the one who gleans them both.<br />d) He is put off by their discussions of how they would self glean, when it is he who ends up self-gleaning in the end.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The correct answer is option c). This is because the irony lies in the fact that Boythe Volta is put off by their discussion of how they would self-glean, when it turns out he is the one who gleans them both. This is ironic because the situation is the opposite of what Boythe Volta expected.
