dramatic irony

Explanation:

We use the term dramatic irony to designate all situations where the reader knows more than at least one of the characters. Sometimes more than all the characters. This happens in the excerpt above, when we readers know more about the future than the characters.

The dramatic irony is not just about generating tension and suspense; It can be used to great effect to provoke a huge range of emotions.

the examples that saki used to represent satire through situational irony are options two (2) and five (5) inasmuch as the wolf thought that looking for a girl in the bushes could be as easy as hunting little pigs at the park, but it took him so much time to find the girl if it had not been not for a silly mistake. also, bertha would have survived to the wolf's hunt if she had not won those medals for goodness, which at the end they were what got her killed by making noise, so winning medals of goodness was not so good achievement, after all.
