Which sentence in this excerpt from Herman Melville's "Bartleby, the Scrivener" best exhibits the use of verbal irony?

Answer:

B) Upon inspection, the drawer exhibited a great array of the shells of various sorts of nuts. Indeed, to this quick-witted youth, the whole noble science of the law was contained in a nutshell.

Explanation:

This is the best example of verbal irony in the passage. Verbal irony occurs when a character uses words that express something that is contrary to truth or that is the opposite of what they truly mean. In this sentence, the speaker calls the boy "quick-witted," which implies that he is intelligent. However, we know that the boy is not intelligent, as he takes no interest in law and spends his day eating nuts.

Taya2010 [7]
I would have to say A is the correct answer. Usually when you have sources coming from a book or the internet, you have to cite the source after you state it in your text and then also in the work cited. For example:

Monkey's are crazy and act like humans. They are the closest thing relatable to humans, hence why they do the same things we do. It really is a game of "Monkey See, Monkey Do (Monkey 101 p 15-19)"

Work Cited Page:

"Monkey 101," Monkey's Anonymous. 1956, pg. 15-19


When readers see the works cited page, they use the information found to refer back to your text and also to make sure that your citations are real. If I were to search for the citation that I made up, the chances of me actually finding a book called "Monkey 101" with the exact phrase "Monkey See, Monkey Do" is slim to none. Please excuse my crazy example though, and please do not hold my citation right above to the correct format. I just threw the example together. But I hope this helps!
