Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about the text "Can Writers Predict the Future".
Answer:
The author believes that writers are visionaries.
Explanation:
The text shows how science fiction authors have the ability to analyze current human behavior and the way we deal with the environment and technology and project how our future will be based on our present. This shows that these writers are visionary beings, who can imagine the world ahead of their time and address issues that we will have to face later in our lives if we don't change who we are right now.
Answer:
1. The man thought that she was the woman he's been looking for but when the woman lifts her veil to reveal her aging appearance to the man, he told her that he made a mistake. This event tells us the man is looking at the physical appearance.
2. Well, one example of dramatic irony in this play would be that the audience knows that the old woman is the one that the man is looking for, but he doesn't realize it because he is expecting a young, beautiful girl.
