Dramatic Irony, explained by TedED, means that the audience knows something the characters do not just yet or may never know. (example: you know that there's a killer in a movie, but there is suspense as to when the character will be jump-scared when walking down a dark hallway.)

Let's look at the lines in the story to get a better viewpoint:

"L1: <span>BALTHASAR: Then she is well, and nothing can be ill: Her body sleeps in Capel's monument, And her immortal part with angels lives. I saw her laid low in her kindred's vault, And presently took post to tell it you: O, pardon me for bringing these ill news, Since you did leave it for my office, sir.

L2: </span><span>ROMEO: Is it even so? then I defy you, stars! Thou know'st my lodging: get me ink and paper, And hire post-horses; I will hence to-night.

L3: </span><span>BALTHASAR: I do beseech you, sir, have patience: Your looks are pale and wild, and do import Some misadventure.

L4: </span><span>ROMEO: Tush, thou art deceived:Leave me, and do the thing I bid thee do.Hast thou no letters to me from the friar?

L5: </span><span>BALTHASAR: No, my good lord"

Okay, so now that we see the lines pretty clearly, we should look for the dramatic irony. So we see there aren't any stage actions/directions, must be words. I believe the correct answer would be that Juliet faked her death as we know, but Romeo and Balthasar do not know this perhaps.

Given the definition above:

The indefinite pronoun in the sentence is ANY.

It refers to the antecedent KINSMEN.

FIND is the verb used which agrees to the plural form of the antecedent.
