Irony/sarcasm
Setting
Characterization
Tragic resolution

Answer 1

Tragic Resolution ( I just took the quiz )

Answer 2

This is a tragic resolution

The setting was described much earlier, and there's nothing sarcastic here. Characterization was already done, and this is slowly the end of the story.
