Answer 2

Brutus says that he is about to do something that will make him well, but his actions bring about his death.

Step-by-step explanation:

Situational irony is a type of irony when the expected outcome is the opposite of what is said. In other words, situational irony is when what one expects did not happen, or rather the opposite happens.

In William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar", the situational irony occurs when Brutus reveals that he is going to do something that will make him well. But the irony is that instead of making things well for him, the actions rather led to his death.

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.
