This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Thomas is fascinated by the play he is reading. He knows something about what has happened that the main character doesn't realize yet. Which literary device is the author using?

A. understatement

B. hyperbole

C. dramatic irony

D. symbolism

Answer:

The literary device that the author is using is C. dramatic irony.

Explanation:

Dramatic irony is a literary device used by authors to reveal to readers something that the characters themselves do not know. A classical example of dramatic is found in Shakespeare's tragic play "Othello", in which viewers and readers are aware of Iago's wickedness. Othello himself, as well as the other characters, do not know Iago is manipulating all of them. They trust him blindly. Readers, however, get to "watch" Iago concoct his evil plans.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The student should replace informal language with formal language.

Explanation:

In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson talks about independence through his use of big words and fancy argument skills. First, Jefferson states his thesis, which makes it seem important that the colonists get independence. Next, Jefferson gives evidence against the king of England and how he mistreats the American colonies. Finally, Jefferson suggests that colonists should stop paying taxes and fight, which is the obvious answer to the colonists’ problems. The best way for the student to revise the essay is to replace informal language with formal language.
