The best answer is 4.

This is because the opposite of the expectation of an event occurs when Brutus tries to make himself well, but ends up killing himself.

Good luck!

The answer is indeed the fourth option: Brutus says that he is about to do something that will make him well, but ends up killing himself.

We may define situational irony as a situation in which a certain outcome is expected to happen, but the complete opposite ends up taking place. A simple example would be a marriage counselor asking for a divorce. No one would expect a person who advises couples and saves marriages to end his/her own marriage.

In literature, situational ironies come as a surprise to readers, having them reflect on the gap there is between reality and expectation. If Brutus says he will do something that will make him well, readers would not expect him to end up dead.

In the story "The Most Dangerous Game." General Zaroff is the character foil for
Anni [7]
 <span>Well first of all, General Zaroff isn't scared/hesitant in killing humans for fun, while Rainsford remains civil and is not exactly happy with that fact (before he found out it was going to be him). 
and about the attributes...: 
GENERAL Z - bragger, skilled, sly, 
RAINSFORD - sensible, honest, doesn't brag as much.... 

I'm not really sure about the question, but also, General Z and Rainsford go against each other in the story, and obviously, if Rainsford kills him in the end, then they have to be different characters in the way they think and everything. Their skills and thinking don't match, which is why Rainsford outsmarted the general in the end. 

wow, I thought NOBODY else knew about the story! 

Hope this helps, it might be a little unclear... :)</span><span>
