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.

Why should only the main ideas appear on a slide for a presentation?
Sauron [17]
Have you ever watched a dull movie? Have you been bored watching the teacher present slides? Well imagine the teacher presenting every single slide, and each slide has over 1000+ words. Yeah, you would be bored. This is why using the main idea in a presentation is needed; it prevents long slides that could take hours to finish, but it shortens the slide to a point where it can be easily understood without unnecessary detail.
