Answer and Explanation:

<u>Dramatic irony is related to a situation in which the audience knows and understands something that the characters themselves don't.</u> In the epic poem "The Odyssey", the main character and hero Odysseus finally arrives home after years journeying back from the war in Troy, but his palace has been taken over by suitors trying to marry his wife. Odysseus is then disguised as a beggar by the goddess Athena.<u> This is an example of dramatic irony because no one knows that beggar is in fact the owner of that palace, not even his own son and wife. Odysseus, a wealthy, brave man appears to the characters completely changed when it comes to his looks. But his heart and mind are the same, and he soon claims his island and family back</u>.

Note: Since you only need two or three sentences, feel free to ignore or change the summary in the middle of the answer.

The "this" to which the poet refers in the final line is "the poet's art," which means that, as long as his poem exists, people will remember that person.

<h3>What is the poem about?</h3>

"Sonnet 18" by Shakespeare is a poem about a beautiful woman with whom the speaker seems to be in love. The speaker tells her that her existence and her beauty will always be remembered, that they will never fade.

What the speaker means is that, as long as that poem exists and people read it, they will remember that woman's life and beauty. She is being immortalized in the poem.

Thus, when the speaker says in the final line, "So long lives this and this gives life to thee," the word "this" means the poem, the art that will keep her memory alive.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option B as the correct answer.
