It's been a while since i read this, but one example of dramatic irony in this play would be that the audience knows that the old woman is the one that the man is looking for, but he doesn't realize it because he is expecting a young, beautiful girl.

Answer:

In <em>“Crossroads: A Sad Vaudeville”</em> the purpose of using dramatic irony is to build suspense towards the man’s reaction.  

Explanation:

Dramatic irony refers to the audience knowing more than some characters in a play. One example of dramatic irony can be found in the following sentence: <em>“Shall I tell him that I’m that woman he’s waiting for?”</em> In this case, the public is aware that she is the woman he longes. However, since she is not as young as he expects, he is ignorant of that fact.

Audience has a huge impact on the and of the writing.
Nata [24]

Answer:

Yep, if you want to write about some ancient people and make your writing sound mature and all then read it to an audience of children, they most likely won't understand. Or if you write about a butterfly named, Joe, who flies around town then lives happily ever after, and present that at a job interview.... good luck with that. So, the audience when writing is very important.

Hope that helps and have a great day!

lozanna [386]

Answer:

The statement that best describes the excerpt is:

3- Most of the sentences have a similar structure.

Explanation:

The first two sentences may seem longer, having more elements. But from the third sentence on, what we have are simple clauses, independent sentences. The structure is so similar that Paine was able to omit the verb "to be" from the fourth sentence on, since it had been mentioned in the previous sentence, and the other are somehow a continuation of that same idea. Therefore, we can safely say that most of the sentences have a similar structure.
