Option B. A tow truck sits stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire is irony.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Irony is a rhetorical device employed by writers or speakers to present a situation where contrary results of what is expected are obtained resulting in wry humour.
A tow truck is a vehicle provided with special equipment to pull damaged , illegally parked, or immovable vehicles in need of help to be either disposed of or dragged to a place where they can be repaired. It is expected to be a savior carrying immobile vehicles to their destination which is most often a repair shop.
In the given situation, the tow truck is itself not able to ply on the road and is helplessly stranded on the roadside due to a flat tyre. It is contrary to what is expected and is consequently amusing. This is an example of irony.
First there are the four lover characters: Hermia, Helena, Demetrius and Lysander. All four are head over heels in love and all four have something standing in the way of that love. Hermia and Lysander are in love but Hermia’s father Egeus doesn’t want them to marry. Instead he wants Hermia to marry Demetrius. Demetrius is in love with Hermia but she is not in love with him so even though he has Egeus’ support, Hermia refuses to marry him. Helena is Hermia’s friend and she is in love with Demetrius. But he does not return her feelings. All four spend the play trying to get their love to work out because being with the person they love is what is most important to them.
