d. when the audience knows something that the characters in the play do not

Dramatic irony occurs when the audience, readers or listeners knows something that the characters do not. It is a literary device wherein the audience's comprehension of the work surpasses that of the character's understandings. It is a form of irony contrary to that of a verbal irony because the irony of this type is embedded or can be found within the work's structure and not on its words. Though dramatic irony is usually seen in theaters, it can also be used and witness in performing arts.

Answer:

Explanation:

Once I hit the age eleven I've had to watch over my older sister who has a disability. I would "babysit" her when my mom was busy, or outside, and I would have to make sure she was okay every 10 to 15 minutes. She is 26 years old and has a mind of a 4-7-year-old, which means I have to get her food, turn the lights on and off, plugging things in for her. Which of course I do not mind. She does get irritated with me at times when I try to help her since she is very independent. When I was eleven I only had to watch her for a short period of time, but as I got older the time expanded, now it mostly depends on what my mom is doing or if my brother is home. My situation is very similar to Squeaky and her brother Raymond.
