Author exaggerates a situation in the plot
Event is the opposite of what is expected
Theme summarized in the resolution

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Dramatic Irony is a situation in a drama wherein the characters in the play cannot grasp what's happening, but the audience can already understand what is going to happen and understood what has happened. So the answer is,   Audience knows something the characters don't know.
Answer 2
Answer: Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something the characters don't know. 
For example, in Romeo and Juliet, Romeo thinks Juliet is dead, when in fact she is merely sleeping because she drank the potion. However, thinking she is no longer alive, Romeo kills himself.
The audience knows she is alive, but he doesn't, which makes this dramatic irony.

Which part of this excerpt from John Updike's "The Brown Chest" shows that the main character finally appreciated the value of his family history?"And this?" she went on, leaving the bed hanging in a realm of future possibility. Her headscarf had slipped back, exposing auburn hair glinting above the vapor of her breath, in evanescent present time.
She had paused at the chest. Her glance darted at Gordon, and then, receiving no response, at the present owner, looking him in the eyes for the first time. The ogre smiled. "Open it."
"What's in it?" she asked.
He said, "I forget, actually." Delicately but fearlessly, she lifted the lid, and out swooped, with the same vividness that had astonished and alarmed his nostrils as a child, the sweetish deep cedary smell, undiminished, cedar and camphor and paper and cloth, the smell of family, family without end.

Identify the italicized word.(Golfing) can be an expensive hobby.
gerund
participle

Answers

The correct answer is A. Gerund

Explanation:

In grammar, the gerund and the present participle are both types of words derived from verbs and that end in -ing. For example, the words "playing", "fishing" and "golfing" can work either as a gerund or as a participle. However, there is a big difference between the function of each one, in the case of gerunds the word that ends in -ing work as a noun, which is usually the subject of a sentence; on the other hand, in the case of participles these words work as a verbs or even and adjective. Considering this, in the case of the word "Golfing" from the sentence "Golfing can be an expensive hobby", it can be concluded this word is a gerund and not a participle because "Golfing" refers to a noun and indeed is the subject or agent that performs the action "can be" instead of acting as an adjective or verb.
The answer is gerund because golfing ends in ING
