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.

Help me when this paragraph for Brainliest anwser!!
choli [55]
Since I was born in Romat Gan, Israel, I suppose that I can say the first major place I visited was the United States. Must have been a quite a sight, the moment I exited that plane, considering that I soiled myself; but then again, I was only a year old at the time. Since then, I've added the Grand Canyon to the roster of locations that I've stepped foot on. Of course, I only walked alongside the canyon, as my milky white skin could not handle the three day long trek it would take to journey across the national park. Six Flags Great Adventure was certainly more my speed, though I held an intrepid fear of roller coasters till I was 14 years old and peer pressure got the best of me as it did when I was 18 years old when I truly enjoyed the New Jersey shore for the first time among good friends while the underclassmen were stuck at school after Prom weekend.


(Haha sorry I forgot the directions said to describe one place with four proper nouns. I accidentally wrote about four proper noun locations. Though I think it still qualifies. Hope this helped.)

Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country." Tolerance is the word used most often when this kind of coexistence succeeds, but
lidiya [134]

Answer:

  • The sentence that best explains how the context of the excerpt supports the author's idea is:  <u><em>"When photographs of the faces of all those who died in the World Trade Center destruction are assembled in one place, it will be possible to trace in the skin color, the shape of the eyes and the noses, the texture of the hair, a map of the world."</em></u>
  • Quindlen uses the context of the World Trade Center attacks to describe the unity among Americans of all different nationalities.

Explanation:

We can see that Quindlen's idea that all Americans unite during times of difficulty is present when she talks about the Tade Center destruction and how people from different ethnicities and nationalities died. The loss of all of them was equally felt by Americans because, even if all the victims were different, it is the loss of the people that makes our nation.

The attack on the World Trade Center is a clear example of how Americans, even with their different nationalities, come together during hard times thank patriotism, which makes all the citizens leave their differences behind for the country.
