Dramatic irony is a stylistic device that is most commonly used by storytellers, in plays, in the theater, and in movies. The irony is used as a plot device to create situations where the reader knows much more about the episodes and the resolutions before the chief character or characters.

Examples are:

In Merchant of Venice, the reader is aware that Lancelot is cheating his father openly; in Tempest, Prospero and the reader are aware of the presence of Gonzalo on the Island but Miranda does not.

In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo finds Juliet in deep and drugged slumber, assumes her dead, and kills himself ignorantly before Juliet wakes up, discovers her dead lover, and kills herself.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

take a look at this line again

<em>performing breathtaking feats </em>

<em>of aquatic acrobatics for the sheer joy of it.</em>

Does that sound like silly and foolish to you? It doesn't to me. That answer should never be considered. Not D

Where's the stubborn part? Do the dolphins sound stubborn?  Not B either.

What about flexible and powerful? I think this is likely your second best answer. It would take power to get them out of the water and to be acrobatic you need to be flexible. I wouldn't pick this answer, but I understand those who would.

To me the answer if C. They sound like they are having a lot of fun. And they are treating what they are doing with a lot of glee and much joy. What the author says is that it is breathtaking. C is the only answer you could pick.
