Answer and Explanation:

Cleft sentences are used to connect something previously understood to new information or to emphasize something by placing it in a different clause. When we use this type of structure, we are basically dividing a piece of information into two clauses. It is common to use <em>it</em> or <em>wh-</em> words to form the cleft sentence.

1. I don't like a manager who acts like a tyrant. = What I don't like is a manager who acts like a tyrant.

2. We're looking for someone who is a team player. - What we are looking for is someone who is a team player.

3. He would prefer to walk to the theater. - What he would prefer is to walk to the theater.

4. She wrote the most popular mystery novel of the year. - It was she who wrote the most popular mystery novel of the year. / What she wrote was the most popular mystery novel of the year.

5. We saw the most dangerous snake in the world. - What we saw was the most dangerous snake in the world. / It was the most dangerous snake in the world that we saw.

6. She had a terrible case of the flu. - What she had was a terrible case of the flu.

7. I don't understand why someone took my headphones. - What I don't understand is why someone took my headphones.

When Josephine says, “I beg; open the door- you will make yourself ill,” (line 70), the narrator and the audience know something
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The dramatic irony is that while the characters did not know the true reaction of Mrs. Mallard, the readers/ audience knows that she is celebrating her husband's death, for it meant freedom for her.

Explanation:

Kate Chopin's short story "The Story of an Hour" revolves around the character Mrs. Mallard and how she reacted to the news of her husband's death. Contrary to the other characters' beliefs, she had a different side of reaction which was abruptly stopped by the sudden turn of events at the end of the story.

When the news of the death of Mr. Mallard first arrived, Mrs. Mallard immediately went to a separate room. The others thought she's been crying her heart out and would be heartbroken. But contrary to that, Mrs. Mallard was instead 'celebrating' the broken chain of her husband's hand/ control over her. She was free to think and do whatever she wants, whispering to herself <em>"Free! Body and soul free!"</em> All the while, her sister Josephine was pleading with her to open the door or else she'll make herself sick with worry and grief.

The<u> dramatic irony is that while the characters did not know the true reaction of Mrs. Mallard, the readers/ audience knows that she is celebrating her husband's death, for it meant freedom for her.</u> The audience/ readers are privy to the situation while the other characters are not.
