"Clear the set!" said the director. Her crew had just spent all night creating a breakaway floor under the purple carpet on the set of The
Mummy's Tomb. Finally, she would get a chance to see somebody fall
through it.
Suddenly, the producer strode onto the set. "Where is that good-for-
nothing director?" he grumbled. Then he spotted her sitting in her
director's chair across a great expanse of floor. He started to make his
way across the purple carpet to give her a piece of his mind about all
the money she was wasting.
Which statement best explains the text's use of dramatic irony?
A. When the producer decides to cross the purple carpet, the

B. When the producer decides to cross the purple carpet, the reader
knows he will yell at the director.
C. When the director prepares to see the breakaway floor in action,
the author gives few details about who will fall through.
D. When the director prepares to see the breakaway floor in action,
she anticipates seeing the producer embarrassed.

sorry i can't really see the questions that good so next time, copy and paste, k?

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
