Answer:
A. The woman who cleans the house.
Explanation:
In Metamorphosis, a short story written by Franz Kafka, the main character, Gregor, finds himself at the beginning of the story turned into a sort of bug, which alienates him from his family and from his daily routine, not to mention his own consciousness. Towards the end of the story, Gregor, completely separated from his family, dies after an unfortunate and sad event and, we are told, the woman who cleans the house, without ceremony, gets rid of the corpse.
"And on the point now in question seems to be altogether blind and babbling" seems to sum up the opinion of the ancient Greeks and their studies of processes like the motion of matter perhaps because at that time of history of the classical learning much of it was based on pure speculation without going out and getting one's hands dirty and really perceiving phenomena with one's 5 senses as Georgius Agricola did in going down in underground mines to find out firsthand how mining was carried out.
The example that best describes it is the 1st one; since "dramatic irony" occurs when the audience (<em>readers</em>) understands what's going to happen, and knows about certain characters' actions, or event, and the characters are unaware of it; hence the characters actions go on a different way.
The tactic is used to make the audience more involved; thus it often creates this feeling of being powerless in the readers' mind, to do anything about it.
So the best statement is: "<em>The reader knows that the human neighbors plan to destroy Animal Farm</em>"
<span>Capulet: [to Tybalt] You are a saucy boy – is 't so indeed? – / This trick may chance to scathe you.
</span><span>Tybalt, the kinsman of old Capulet, / Hath sent a letter to his father’s house. . . . [Romeo] will answer the letter’s master, how he dares, being dared.</span>
