English
1 answer:
Reil [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is: situational, dramatic and verbal irony.

Explanation:

The irony is a literary device we use to express certain meanings by using language that signifies the opposite, to indicate a higher negative implication through the positive wording.

There are three types of irony: dramatic, situational, and verbal.

Dramatic irony represents the situation when the audience understands what is happening in a certain situation better than the characters. The best example of this type of irony can be found in Shakespeare's <em>Romeo and Juliet</em> when Romeo dies because he believes Juliet is dead.

Situational irony occurs when some action has the opposite result from what is expected.

For example:

John realizes it's his wife's birthday. He goes to buy her a present, and after buying it, he realizes the birthday was three days ago.

Verbal irony occurs when the speaker says the opposite of what he/she thinks.

For example:

The cousin you hate is coming to see you and you are saying: <em>What a nice surprise</em>!

He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

What is to do?

Explanation:

If it is to write the meaning, then

The excerpt of this part from the poem 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening' by Robert Frost illustrates about the impacts on the speaker by the beautiful evening time when he suddenly stops by the forest where no any house is located but the snowy wind with small flake's sound that falls and the horse on which the speaker was riding suddenly stops in astonishment.

The horse thinks that his master stopped commanding because the destination was there, meanwhile the horse also felt that it is not the place where he had to stop because there were no any houses beside a forest. The horse shook his head and rang the neck bell if anything was going wrong.

But the speaker even was fascinated by the nature his real race was not over, he still had a lot of things in life to do, that he represents as not to stop where something may influence you, but to continue your journey untill you achieve your goal. So that, he stated he had to go miles before he dies, he had lots of responsibilities and lots of experiences to be faced forward.
