The correct answer is B. He speaks of old Iron sides as being put to death as if it were a sentient being.

Is this regular or irregular
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Irregular

Explanation:

      You can think of "regular" as several neat rows or many similar things. They are all "regular" with each other and you can sort of predict what will come next.

      There does not seem to be a specific pattern here, so we can conclude the answer most likely is irregular.
