The statement that is true about how dramatic irony enhances dramatic texts is:
**A. It helps readers feel empathy or sympathy for characters.**
Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows more about a situation than the characters do, leading to a deeper emotional response as viewers consider the implications of the characters' ignorance. This can evoke feelings of empathy or sympathy for the characters as they navigate their circumstances without the full understanding that the audience possesses.
