After reading the excerpt represented above it has become clear that the meaing of the word 'incongruous' in this context can be revealed by the word 'contradictory' because it brings a meaning of something improper, it brings sort of contrast which can be proven by the words ' laughter with tears'. Do hope you will find it useful!
