Answer/Explanation:
The author wishes to use irony to communicate disapproval in bad weather. Which choice best meets this goal? According to the weather station, you should expect rain, granular and a variety of small pets to come down from the sky later this afternoon. Well, it's not just a lovely prediction.
Irony is a picture of language used when it tries to create a non literal truth of the facts.
Thus, the author uses a very ironic form or last fact found in the statement.
