When Gus decides to hide behind the steel wall, the audience knows that he will be attacked by a badger.
When Gus decides to hide behind the steel wall, the character is likely to learn the price for pranking others.

Rich had to completely guess on almost half the questions on his final exam, and he then left all the other questions blank. "Guess I'll be taking Particle Physics again next semester," he said to himself, and he felt so embarrassed that he wrote a fake name on the test, the most random name he could think of: Yann Scheele.
But there was actually a student named Yann Scheele at the university, and he sat three rows down from Rich and had just patted himself on the back for studying hard and acing nearly every question. He got up and slapped his test down on the professor's desk, and then looked around and saw that he was one of the first students to finish. He had to resist the urge to dance on his way out of the lecture hall.
Which statement best explains the text's use of dramatic irony?
When Yann Scheele turns in his test, the reader knows he will fail or be accused of cheating.
When Yann Scheele turns in his test, the author portrays the character as hardworking and confident.
When Rich writes a fake name on the exam, the audience is aware that Rich will fail Particle Physics this semester.
When Rich writes a fake name on the exam, he is not yet aware that he will have to take the class again

Biff had just graduated from barber college — his third attempt. He had a bad habit of nicking customers on the back of the neck with the clippers, especially when he got nervous, which was often. In fact, he had only passed barber college because the teacher had taken pity on him.
Suddenly, the door of the barber shop swung open and in strode Biff's first real customer: a terrified-looking five-year-old who fidgeted uncontrollably. Behind him stood the boy's mother who looked like she had just gotten a parking ticket and was ready to blame the next person to enter her field of view.
How does the use of point of view create suspense in the passage?
The third-person limited point of view means that only the reader knows just how much Biff's job depends on proving himself by giving the boy a successful haircut.
The third-person omniscient point of view means that the audience is aware that the mother had just gotten a parking ticket, but Biff has no idea and goes about his business normally.
The third-person limited point of view means that the reader can look forward to entertaining antics when Biff attempts to give the boy a completely disastrous haircut.
The third-person omniscient point of view means that the author strongly suggests that Biff is a terrible barber, but the audience won't know for sure until he cuts the boy's hair.

She had said yes! Asami, the most popular girl in school, had said yes! Edgar fell back on his bed, his head spinning. He never imagined he would even go to prom, much less with the girl of his dreams. Incredible!
When he heard the doorbell ring, he got up, his head still swimming with images of Asami's beautiful face. He opened the door and there stood Ellie Fitz, the girl who lived next door who had had a secret crush on him since 7th grade. "Hey, Edgar," she said. "Do you want to go to the prom with me?"
How does the use of point of view create suspense in the passage?
The third-person omniscient point of view means that the audience knows that the characters are most likely about to have an awkward and disappointing interaction.
The third-person omniscient point of view means that the reader knows that Ellie Fitz is the right girl for Edgar and wants to find out whether they end up together.
The first-person point of view means that the author provides a lot of detail about Edgar's feelings for Asami, but not about Ellie Fitz.
The first-person point of view means that readers are likely to have sympathy for Edgar, even though he is unkind to Ellie Fitz.
