Answer 1

The most effective question a reader can ask themselves to help detect dramatic irony is:

**What have I learned that at least one character does not know?**

This question directly addresses the essence of dramatic irony, which occurs when the audience knows something that the characters do not, creating tension and engagement in the story.
