Dramatic irony is prevalent in literature. An example of dramatic irony is a horror movie. Let's say that a character goes into a room that the audience knows a murderer is hiding. This is an example of dramatic irony since the audience knows what is happening, but the character doesn't. Essentially, dramatic irony is irony expressed through the knowledge of the audience and the lack of knowledge of the characters.

I hope this helps :)

Anastaziya [24]

Answer: b. Demeaning

Explanation:

Demeaning someone means to speak to someone in a very disrespectful manner by insulting them with the aim being to degrade them and make them feel less dignified. It can also be done through actions.

Arachne here called the person a silly fool who is worn out and witless (stu-pid) which served to insult the person and therefore demean them. The tone is therefore demeaning.
