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.

Read "Swing Song" by A. A. Milne. Here I go up in my swing Ever so high. I am the King of the fields, and the King Of the town.
marissa [1.9K]

Answer: The repeated words explain the child's imaginary powers.

Explanation:

I think you were asking for an answer to multiple choice, yes? Repitition often is used to add power or importance to a statement being made. By repeating the certain words of "King" and "Swing" you can get a sense of power that is meant to be created. The author is using it to stress the child-like imagination in the excerpt. Hopefully this answered your question and if not I'm happy to try again.

How much change should you get from a ten dollar bill if you buy items for $3.69 each?

First find out how many things you can buy. $3.69 + $3.69 is $7.38. If you add one more item that is $3.69 that would be over $10, so you can only buy two things. If you take the price of your two items ($7.38) minus $10.00, what is your answer?
