Explanation:

For Question 3, Jimmy is a master safecracker who can open any lock but is locked out of his own house, which is an unexpected outcome contrary to what one would expect, fitting the definition of situational irony. For Question 4, Jack is in a hurry to get home for his show and is careless with his car, and then his car gets stolen. The audience knows he left the car running and unattended, but Jack is unaware of the impending loss until he comes out, which is characteristic of dramatic irony as the reader/audience has knowledge that the character lacks.

Answer:

Question 3: The type of irony is situational irony because a master safecracker being locked out of his own house is an unexpected situation.
Question 4: The type of irony is dramatic irony because the audience knows Jack left his car running and unattended, but Jack doesn't know his car will be stolen until he comes out.
