Answer 2

Answer:

Situational Irony

Situational irony is a plot device used in plays and in fiction in which the outcome is unexpected to the audience or reader. In "After Twenty Years," readers do not discover that Bob is a criminal until the last few lines of the story, when he is arrested. Rather, they are led to think of him as a loyal friend and successful businessman. Furthermore the story does not explain that the person referred to as "the policeman" is actually the same Jimmy Wells that Bob has been describing to the policeman until the arresting officer calls him "Officer Wells."
