Gunnar kept his pet badger in a yard with a low steel wall around it; the

animal had been known to chew through any other kind of enclosure.
He said goodnight to his pet, who snarled back, and then went inside
for the night
Gus came jogging around the block, looking to get away from the
angry group of bullies he had just pulled a prank on. I'll hide behind that
steel wall, he thought.
Which statement best explains the text's use of dramatic irony?
