It's hard to tell what the options are lol, but I'd say Mysterious.
The narrator hears tapping -- neither he nor the reader knows what it is. The core of the word mysterious is <em>mystery</em>, and this provokes a question our minds; what could it be?
The correct answer is: Readers know something about a situation that the character does not know.
Indeed, the very definition of dramatic irony is when the audience, spectators or readers know something that then intra-diegetic (inside the fiction) characters ignore. A good example is the last line of <em>The Story of an Hour</em> by Kate Chopin:
<em>"When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease--of joy that kills."</em>
The doctors assume that Mrs. Mallard, who has a heart condition, died because she is shocked to see her husband alive and the joy of seeing him alive kills her.
In this case, the author is using it to further emphasize the opposing views of Mrs. Mallard and the patriarchal society she lives in. She dies because she felt that with the death of her husband she would finally be free to be her own self and live her life in her own term however she would see fit. This was a source of very intense emotions and psychological turmoil for her. However, it turns out that the news that her husband had died were mistaken. When she learned this she saw her hopes destroyed and was overwhelmed by the realization. The cumulative emotional shocks were more than her heart could handle and she died of a heart attack; not because she was joyful to see her husband alive but because she realized that her life of gender normative subordination would continue until her death and such realization was just too much to bear, especially after believing that she was finally free.
The doctors’ interpretation is completely erroneous since they judge her emotional response based on their patriarchal normative standards while the readers know the exact reason which happens to be in direct contradiction towards their assessment.
The way you would restate the two sentences is:
1) The extent that influences how others think about you is...
and
2) It affects how you think about yourself because...
Alright, now to answer the question:
The extent that your name influences how others think about you really depends to be honest. Every name has a real meaning behind it; if you look up a name's definition, it can tell you what that person's name means, what kind of person they may be, etc. But those are never really true, because you can't judge a person by their name. You need to get to know them first and recognize what kind of person they are before you determine what to think about them. Because it's what's on the inside that counts, not the outside. Your name affects how you think about yourself in many different ways, of course it is different for every person. For example, if someone likes their name and believes it suits them well, then they'll be positive about themselves. However, if someone dislikes their name and doesn't think it suits their personality, then they'll be negative towards it for a while until they can get used to it, therefore making them act negatively about themselves.
I hope I answered the question well and helped you! :)
