The phrases or sentences in the above excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" which demonstrates the use of irony is:
“The television screens showed, from left to right, the stretch of desert which was the rocket target,”
“Ninety minutes before H-hour the radios announced that the rockets were ready, that the observation ships had backed away to what was thought to be a safe distance,”
Kurt Vonnegut's short story "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" is an example of postmodernism because of the use of irony on a serious topic.

The answer is C. A case of dramatic irony is the point at which the police submit the main normal individual in the city. Dramatic irony is the point at which the per user knows something that the characters don't, and the character's activities bring about something startling.
