Irony that is inherent in speeches or a situation of a drama and is understood by the audience but not grasped by the characters in the play

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 :)

<span>prove his point by spelling out the options available with an education.

In his parallelism, he is showing that you'll realize your potential or interests in school while doing a project or writing an essay. The last part of the parallelism speaks about classes, so we know that his emphasis is on education. This eliminates the first and last options. He isn't necessarily choosing the best classes here, just using English and science as an example. This leaves the third option as the correct choice.
