Answer: B. King Duncan thinks Macbeth is good and virtuous man, when in reality Macbeth is plotting his murder.

Irony occurs when a character believes something that is the complete opposite of reality. For irony to work in a play, the audience usually has to have more information that the characters. In this case, the audience knows that Macbeth is planning the murder of King Duncan. However, the audience also knows that King Duncan believes Macbeth to be a good and virtuous man. This contradiction is an example of irony in the play.

Take one action that increases your pride. It could be related to your family, assets, culture, language, or invisible diversity

Making a pro CSGO team; This increases my pride because I can brag to my friends. For example, "Get Rekt, you noobs I'm on the FaZe CSGO team with FaZe fox.". It also increases my status as a person as I am in the media a considerable amount more than an average person. I also get paid for doing something I love such as playing CSGO and video games in general. What really increases my pride is being able to make it to such a prestigious team such as FaZe and being able to be so good at something I can do it professionally and get paid for it.
