Question

in passage 3, paragraphs 10 - 15, how does tressas perspective create irony?
through tressas lack of awareness of her familys legacy in the
theater
through the contrast between tressas failure and her grandmothers
success
through tressas desire for public acclaim in order to feel successful
through tressas reliance on external validation to feel motivated

Explanation:

Irony often involves a contrast or discrepancy. If Tressa is unaware of her family's legacy in the theater (while perhaps being in a theater - related situation in the passage), it creates a situation where she is missing key information relevant to her current context. This lack of awareness can lead to a situation that is contrary to what might be expected (e.g., if her family has a long - standing positive connection to the theater and she is struggling in a theater - related activity without knowing the family history).

Answer:

through Tressa's lack of awareness of her family's legacy in the theater
