Answer:

Irony.

Explanation:

An irony is a literary device used by the writer to show a contrast between the expectations and the reality. The words, in this device, is used as such to reveal the difference between the actual and intended meaning of the word.

In the given statement the literary device of irony is used. It is taken from the play named "The Outside" written by Susan Glaspell; a one-act play. The writer, through this play, tried to convey the emptiness of Mrs. Patrick who resides in the lifesaving station with her servant.

The line stated in the question is ironic because though the name where Mrs. Patrick resides is called 'lifesaving station', she has lost the hope of living and chose a life of isolation.

So, the correct answer is irony.

Duncan (the King of Scotland), his two sons (Malcolm and Donalbain), and Lennox (a Scottish nobleman) hang out with their attendants at a military camp in Scotland.
Lost? Check out this nifty map of major locations in the play.
King Duncan's forces have been busy fighting against the King of Norway and the traitor, Macdonwald.
A wounded Captain arrives, fresh from the field, where he fought to help Duncan's son, Malcolm, escape capture. What's the news?
Well, says the Captain, the battle was going south fast until brave Macbeth fought through the "swarm" of enemy soldiers and disemboweled the traitorous Macdonwald.
There's some gab about Macbeth's great courage in the face of seemingly impossible adversity and the Captain continues his story: after Macbeth spilled Macdonwald's guts all over the ground, the battle flared up again when the "Norwegian Lord" brought new men to the field, but even this didn't daunt Macbeth and Banquo, who just redoubled their efforts.
Oh, but could someone get the Captain a surgeon? He's kind of bleeding all over the place.
The Thane of Ross arrives from another battle, where Macbeth was also kicking serious butt. Sweno, Norway's king, is not allowed to bury his men until he hands over ten thousand dollars to the Scots.
Duncan then proclaims the traitorous Thane of Cawdor will be executed, and Macbeth, responsible for the victory, shall have his title.
Ross is sent to announce the news to Macbeth.

False.
This is an example of foreshadowing (indicating a future event to the audience) or even a limited example of dramatic irony (the audience is aware of an event or circumstance that the character is not and watches the character attempt to figure it out for entertainment value)
