The poem “Richard Cory” by Edwin Arlington Robinson explores how the theme of dissatisfaction and the mentality that “the grass

is greener on the other side” affects all humans. Which lines in this excerpt reflect those themes?
And he was rich—yes, richer than a king—
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.

1.And he was rich—yes, richer than a king—
2.And admirably schooled in every grace:
3.To make us wish that we were in his place.
4.So on we worked, and waited for the light,
5.Went home and put a bullet through his head.

Answer:

3. To make us wish that we were in his place

Explanation:

To the narrator and everyone else, Richard Cory is the epitome of what a good life is like. And everyone seems to envy him. Not knowing what he must be feeling deep inside and whether he is lonely or sad, they overlooked everything for his money and thought he is living the life. But then we saw in the end that he killed himself with a bullet through the head. So, even while it seems that Cory's life is all green, it isn't so. The grass is always never greener on the other side. Everyone has their own issues and problems that no one sees. Dis-satisfactions and the want to be able to live life like someone will always be a part of human nature.

Answer: A. Extraordinarily important.

Explanation: Based on the information presented in the excerpt, we can infer that the information in the wireless message was extraordinarily important, because all the signs the characters give each other without even saying a word, like that the twitching of "Blinker's" eyes became more pronounced as he was reading the message and also the seriousness of de Grey while he delivered the message.

Write a sentence that uses quotation marks indicate sarcasm or irony
a_sh-v [17]
Here's an example sentence.

The girl laughed as her father, the "fitness expert", struggled to do a push up.

This shows sarcasm and irony because if her father calls himself a fitness expert, then why is he struggling to do one pushup. This is the opposite of being a fitness expert.
