Based on the given poem above entitled "Irony" by Louis Untermeyer, the key details that contribute to the irony in the poem are the following: *The things that are considered no death, are the ones are not breathing or living. *Even a pebble lies in a roadway, still it never experiences death. *No matter how grasses are cut, they still grow in the same place. *Brooks, even though its flow is not that much, still you can see it come and go. *Despite all these things that are not living, they do not fade nor die. But since a human is strong and wise, makes it the reason why it dies.*
If you were to have ants in your pants you would be trying to get them out of your pants, right? Who wants ants crawling all on their legs?
When someone tries to get ants off their legs they are likely to be very uncomfortable and wiggly (aka moving around a lot).
When you say someone has ants in their pants it means that figuratively ants are in their pants and that they are acting very uncomfortable and fidgety
Hope this helped!

Answer:
After filling in the blanks with an article, the sentence is:
Once upon a time, there lived a one-eyed monster in a castle.
Explanation:
In English, we have one definite article "the", and two indefinite articles, "a" and "an". "The" is only used when we speak of something specific. <u>"A" or "an" is used to talk about something in general or something that is being introduced (mentioned for the first time). </u>Take a look at the sentence below:
- I saw a girl running the other day. The girl had beautiful brown hair. → The first sentence is introducing the girl, which is why it uses the indefinite article "a". The second sentence is talking about that same girl, a specific person, which is why it uses "the".
<u>The only difference between "a" and "and" is that "a" is used before consonant sounds, while "an" is used before vowel sounds.</u> Example: a fox - an ant.
<u>"Once upon a time" is a fixed expression since it never changes. We cannot say "once upon the time". </u>
<u>We use "a" before "one" because its first sound is consonant-like (/w/).</u>
<u>We say "a castle" because we are mentioning the castle for the first time.</u>
