Final Answer:
1. Irony: Mark asked Peter to show him his friend, but Peter pointed to the cafeteria—where Mark was already standing in front of his own reflection in the mirror. The irony is that Mark didn’t realize *he* was the “friend” being referred to; he thought Peter meant someone else.
2. Irony: Jane woke up late and rushed to school, only to find Elizabeth already there waiting for her—and Elizabeth had also overslept and arrived early *by accident*. The irony is that Jane worried about being late, but Elizabeth, who was supposed to be on time, ended up early *because* she overslept (she slept through her alarm, got up late, and still made it before Jane).
3. Irony: Leo lived in a storm-damaged town where many families were poor, yet he ran to his brothers on the floor of a *partially destroyed home*—not because they were hurt or homeless, but because they were playing. The irony is that the scene looks tragic (ruined house, children on the floor), but it’s actually joyful play; the danger and poverty are real, yet the children’s innocence turns the moment into something warm and hopeful.
