Answer: D. A knight swears loyalty to a newly appointed king, but the audience knows the knight plans to betray the king once he takes the throne.

Dramatic irony refers to a literary device in which the audience or the reader has more information than the characters of the text. It also means that the characters' actions will have a different meaning for the audience than those they have for the characters. In this case, the knight's action is interpreted differently by the king than by the audience, because they possess more information. Dramatic irony is usually associated with theatre, but can occur across all art.

Although nixion May not have ordered the break in he did order a ?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:  a COVER-UP

Context/detail:

"Watergate" was the scandal in which persons working for President Nixon's reelection campaign committed crimes to spy on their opponents at Democratic party headquarters, and then efforts were made to cover up those crimes.  Nixon didn't directly order the break-ins and spying attempts, but he did order the cover-up of his administration's connections to those activities.

The first break-in attempt by burglars working on Nixon's behalf occurred  in May, 1972, as persons connected to the Nixon reelection campaign broke into the Democratic National Committee office in the Watergate complex of buildings in Washington, DC.  They were planting wire-taps on the Democrats' phone lines, and also stole copies of documents.  When the wire-taps didn't work properly, they broke in again (in June) to try to fix the surveillance devices, but they were caught.

Nixon's role in Watergate was especially in his efforts and those of members of his staff to cover up what had happened.  Ultimately, the Watergate affair brought down the Nixon presidency.  He resigned in order to avoid impeachment.  And the whole affair made Americans more distrusting of government.
