Use the passage to answer the question. How does Nikka’s line “Sometimes I wish you’d think about what I’d like for once” add to the dramatic irony in the passage?
It was almost time for Nikka to start opening her gifts, and Eve didn’t even have hers wrapped. She knew Eve would love the sequined purse she had bought because she had seen her sister eyeing it at the store last week. The only problem was that she had no box for it. Scanning her room, she found the box that Eve’s latest canteen had arrived in—a perfect fit. After hurriedly wrapping the gift, she brought it downstairs to give to her sister. Downstairs, Nikka was busily opening gifts. Most of it was clothes, jewelry, and gift cards for shopping. When she got to Eve’s gift, she tore off the wrapper and stared at the box for a moment. “Aww, thanks for the canteen, sis,” Nikka said with a forced smile. Nikka put the box on the coffee table. “Well, take a look inside,” Eve said. “Why, is it a special kind of canteen?” Nikka asked. “When have you known me to like camping, Eve?” “No, it’s—” Eve began again. “Sometimes I wish you’d think about what I’d like for once,” Nikka said. Finally she reached over and picked up the box. “I mean, great, a . . .” She looked down at the open canteen box, and the exact sequined purse she had wanted was staring back up at her. “Exactly what I wanted!” Nikka squealed. “I knew you’d get me the perfect gift, sis!”
