Answer:

Scout is so young and naive

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Scout is so young and naive throughout this novel, and because her older self is narrating the story, we experience lots of dramatic irony throughout the novel. Any time we know what's going on and Scout doesn't, that's dramatic irony in the play. So let's take a look at that quote from Chapter 15 and make some sense of it.
