I MET a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert ... Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage [face] lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which still survive, stamped on these lifeless things.
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Which of the following sentences best describes the dramatic irony in the poem?
The traveler knows he will see the statue in the desert.
The traveler knows who the king was.
The audience knows the traveler has seen the statue in the desert
The audience knows the boastful king's power did not last.

Explanation
Dramatic irony is a literary device that is based on giving the reader information about the story so that he understands the hidden meanings of the story related to the actions of the characters. In addition, the reader understands aspects that the characters themselves are unaware of, creating a feeling of suspense. In the excerpt presented the narrator tells the reader the power of the king will not last, as the narrator says "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains".
According to the above, it can be established that the correct answer is D. The audience knows the boastful king's power did not last.
