The question given above is incomplete, below is the excerpt attached to the question. 
<span>After Juliet's body is found, Lord Capulet says these lines from act IV of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet:
CAPULET: Death is my son-in-law, Death is my heir; My daughter he hath wedded: I will die, And leave him all; life, living, all is Death's. 
</span>
ANSWER
The correct option is this: CAPULET DOES NOT KNOW THAT JULIET IS ACTUALLY ALIVE.
A dramatic irony is said to occur, when the audience in a play is aware of a vital fact, which the performing character[s] is not aware of. 
In the excerpt given above, Juliet has drank a sleeping portion in order to avoid getting married to Count Paris, the father, who is not aware of this fact thought that his daughter has actually died. This excerpt is an example of dramatic iron because the audience know that Juliet is not dead, but  Juliet's father is not aware of this fact.

1. Read this passage from "Mending Wall," and think about who is 'speaking" in the poem.
Alla [95]

After analyzing the speaker in the passage from "Mending Wall," we can say the following about what is revealed:

D. He isn't taking the task seriously.

<h3>The speaker in "Mending Wall"</h3>

"Mending Wall" is a poem by Robert Frost in which the speaker and his neighbor fix a stone wall that separates their properties. The neighbor thinks the wall is important, but the speaker thinks it is utterly unnecessary.

The speaker is clearly not taking the task seriously. He describes the repair of the wall as an "outdoor game," as if he and the neighbor were just children having fun. He even goes as far as talking of using "a spell to make [the stones] balance."

Taking the information above into consideration, we can select letter D as the correct option.
