Answer

Brief Explanations:

Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something that the characters do not. In the story, Tim criticizes Jon for using a cliché ("king of the jungle") and not following the assignment well. However, if Tim then gives an example of an opening - line that also ignores the rules (like using a cliché or not following the assignment in some way), it creates a situation of dramatic irony as the reader is aware of this contradiction while the characters may not be fully aware. This contradiction can be humorous.

Answer:

  1. Tim's opening ignores the writing advice he has just given to Jon.
