Answer:

The answer is actually letter A) a situation in a novel, story, or play where the audience knows what is happening or what will happen while the characters do not.

Explanation:

As we know, irony refers to the action of saying something when we actually mean something else. However, the question is asking us about dramatic irony.<u> In plays, movies, series, books etc., dramatic irony is related to a situation in which the audience knows and understands something that the characters themselves don't. </u>Since the audience gets to see different characters and situations throughout the work, they get to receive information that the characters have no access to.

A famous example of dramatic irony is found in the tragic play "Romeo and Juliet" by Shakespeare. The audience knows Juliet is not truly dead. She has taken some medicine to fake her own death and be able to elope with Romeo. However, the person who was supposed to tell Romeo about Juliet's plan ends up detained. Romeo, having no access to the same information as the audience, believes Juliet has died indeed. Desperate, he kills himself by drinking poison.

Which of the following sentences most clearly uses allusion?
oee [108]
<span>The answer is D. When it comes to giving people good advice, Jon is a regular Yoda. Allusion is when you say something in a passing fashion without actually making direct reference to it (a person, place, or thing.) Since you are calling Jon a 'regular Yoda' you are comparing him and making a sort of passing reference, but are not speaking directly about Yoda himself. So this is Allusion. Another example of an allusive sentence would be: When my uncle won the lottery he acted like a total Scrooge.</span>
