Answer:

B). Dramatic irony occurs because the reader knows that Napoleon won't die-he drank too much alcohol.

Explanation:

Irony is demonstrated as the literary device in which there is an incongruity between the expectations or the intended meaning and the reality or actual meaning of a situation.

Dramatic irony is characterized as the form of irony in which the readers or the audience possess a clear understanding of the situation(in a drama) while the characters remain unaware. Thus, there lies a contradiction in the plot.

In the given passage, Orwell employs 'dramatic irony' as there is an incongruity between the readers' and characters' understanding. The readers are aware that Napoleon won't die(as he had drank alcohol excessively, nothing else) but the characters think that 'he had a terrible piece of news to impart.' Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

What type of plot structure allows authors to “come late” to their own story?

bezimeni [28]

The plot structure that allows authors to 'come late' to their own story is in medias res. It is a Latin term which basically means 'into the middle of things.' Sometimes authors don't want to bother giving their characters a backstory, but rather begin the novel in the middle. An example would be Gaiman's 'American Gods,' because we don't see each of the gods' history in the beginning.
