To determine the correct answers, let's analyze the options for each question:
1. Creon declares that the anarchists are behind the burial of Polyneices. The question asks for the dramatic irony in this declaration. To identify the dramatic irony, we need to consider what the audience knows in contrast to what the characters in the play know.
a. The audience knows that it is the Sentry who buried him - This option is correct because the audience is aware that the Sentry buried Polyneices, not the anarchists. Therefore, the audience knows more than Creon does, creating dramatic irony.
b. The audience knows that it is a priest who buried him. - This option is not correct because there is no mention of a priest burying Polyneices in the question.
c. The audience knows that Creon secretly suspects Antigone but can't accuse her because she is Haimon's fiancee. - This option is not correct because it does not directly relate to the burial of Polyneices or the declaration of the anarchists.
d. The audience knows that Antigone has buried him for religious, not political, reasons. - This option is not correct because it does not directly relate to the declaration of the anarchists.
Therefore, the correct answer is: a. The audience knows that it is the Sentry who buried him.
2. The question asks us to identify the event that did not take place in the play. Let's consider each option:
a. Teiresias blames Creon for causing his birds to behave strangely. - This option is not correct because Teiresias does blame Creon for causing the birds to behave strangely. This event takes place in the play.
b. After Creon fails to save Antigone, he buries Polyneices. - This option is not correct because Creon does bury Polyneices after failing to save Antigone. This event takes place in the play.
c. In the Paean, the Chorus implores Dionysos to heal Thebes. - This option is correct because the Paean is not a part of the play. Therefore, this event did not take place in the play.
d. The messenger announces Haimon's suicide. - This option is not correct because the messenger does announce Haimon's suicide. This event takes place in the play.
Therefore, the correct answer is: c. In the Paean, the Chorus implores Dionysos to heal Thebes.
