Question

multiple-choice question
situational irony is--
when a character says one thing but means another
when the audience knows something a character does not know
when the audience expects one thing but something else happens

Explanation:

• The first option describes verbal irony (saying vs. meaning).
• The second is dramatic irony (audience vs. character knowledge).
• The third matches situational irony: a discrepancy between expected and actual events.

Answer:

C. when the audience expects one thing but something else happens (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C in order; if original labels differ, adjust, but the correct statement is "when the audience expects one thing but something else happens")
