Question 58 NECO • 2025 • LITERATURE_IN_ENGLISH • objective

Consider the following excerpt from a drama: Scene: A dimly lit room. CHARLOTTE enters, holding a letter. CHARLOTTE: (reading) ‘You have been chosen, dear friend, to lead the rebellion.' (looks up) Yet I am but a seamstress, not a soldier. JAMES: (smiles) The world needs heroes, even those who stitch. Identify the type of dramatic irony present and discuss its effect on the audience.

Answer Options

A. The excerpt contains character‑versus‑character dramatic irony—the audience sees a hidden rivalry between CHARLOTTE and JAMES, which falsely suggests a love triangle and adds romantic tension.
B. The excerpt contains verbal dramatic irony—the audience hears CHARLOTTE's words as a joke, leading to comedic effect instead of suspense.
C. The excerpt contains situational dramatic irony—the audience knows the rebellion is a myth while CHARLOTTE believes it is real. This creates a sense of wonder rather than tension.
Correct Answer D. The excerpt contains character‑versus‑audience dramatic irony—the audience sees the letter as a trap while CHARLOTTE sees it as an honour. This generates tension, sympathy for CHARLOTTE, and anticipatory anxiety in the audience.
