Answer:

Shondra is trying to help, but she ends up making it harder for the narrator to understand her lines.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Wherefore Art Thou Romeo, we meet Shondra. We know that she is worried about her lines, and the narrator understanding them. This nervousness makes her try to help the situation. However, this only complicates it further as she ends up making it harder for the narrator to understand her lines. This is an example of situational irony. Situational irony occurs when a character expects a certain outcome, but the reality turns out to be exactly the opposite of what was expected.
