A few lucky actors and musicians have achieved the utmost zenith of fame. Those lucky few achieve success and recognition throug

h sheer good fortune or by using their talents. Regardless of the origin of fame, performers thrive on constantly being in the public eye. The public interest spurs on performers' success. However, fame does come with a price. Stars often yearn for privacy in their public world. Those who value their privacy find that protecting their personal lives from the media is a true task. Rabid fans yearn to learn more about their favorite stars, and the media seeks to provide more information. Therefore, famous performers must find their own balance.
Based on the passage, which of the following is an example of irony?
A.
A performer believes that protecting his or her personal life from the public is a chore.
B.
A performer gains loyal and supportive fans if he or she demonstrates some talent.
C.
A performer relies on being in the public eye for success but still yearns for privacy.
D.
A performer achieves success by using his or her talents instead of depending on luck.

Answer:

C.  A performer relies on being in the public eye for success but still yearns for privacy.

Explanation:

The irony is when what happens is contradictory to what is expected or wanted. In other words, the irony is a rhetorical device that occurs when what one expects and wanted does not happen but rather, the contrary/opposite happens.

In the given passage about performers, the irony is that they rely on public opinion and the public's support for their success as performers. But then, they wanted privacy and to be away from the public. So, this is a complete irony in that while they desire the public for their success, they also yearn for privacy.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
