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.

1. Rama most likely knew that Sita was not married because-
Setler79 [48]
Rama knew that Sita was most likely not married because she did not cause him to recoil from her. 
A description of prosperity in Mithila would be that "The streets glitter with odds and ends of jewelry cast off by the people..."
The pair of words that best describe Sita would be agitated and infatuated.
The author mostly reveals the character of Rama through his actions within the story.
