Answer:

It creates a dramatic effect, with a strong influence of dramatic irony.

Explanation:

The fact that Fortunato does not have access to important information, which the reader has access to and which has to do with Fortunato's survival and malaise, gives the reader a strong effect of drama and suspense.

This is explained by the dramatic irony, where the reader knows something and understands that a situation is happening, but the character does not know.

Did you know Hong Kong is one of the world's most _______ cities?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

B. Populous

Explanation:

The best option that completes this sentence is the word 'populous'.

<em>Did you know Hong Kong is one of the world's most </em><u><em>populous</em></u><em> cities?</em>

To complete this sentence we needed a word that modifies the noun 'cities', so we needed an adjective.

Option A is wrong because it is misspelled.

Option C is wrong because it is a noun. To put two nouns together doesn't make any sense to the information of the sentence.

Option B is correct.

<u>Populous (adjective)</u> - full of residents or inhabitants, as a region; heavily populated. This word is completely suitable for our sentence as it finishes its complete thought.

I hope it helped you :)
