Question 1 • Common Core ELA 9 B-IC
Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something important that a character does not. In A, Juliet’s mother believes Juliet is preparing to marry Paris, while the audience knows Juliet plans to take the potion. In C and D, the audience knows Juliet and Romeo are already married, but Juliet’s father and Tybalt do not. B describes Juliet worrying about the potion, and E is wordplay, not dramatic irony.
