Answer:
There are three instances of irony in the story "One Thousand Dollars":
Explanation:
- It is ironic that Young Gillian does not grumble about inheriting only one thousand dollars when he has been entirely dependent upon his uncle's wealth.
- It is ironic that Young Gillian is unselfish in his efforts to spend the money, rather than spending it on himself as has been his habit.
- It is ironic that when seemingly self-gratifying Gillian learns that his act of being unselfish will earn him a larger inheritance, he falsifies his report so that the young woman he loves will be given the money instead.
