Answer:

The purpose of the last line of the poem is to provide a bitter irony (option A).

Explanation:

The excerpt in the picture was taken from the poem "Richard Cory", by Edwin Arlington Robinson. The poem was written while the American people were still suffering due to the depression of 1893. The speaker in the poem is poor, lives waiting for the light, without meat, eating stale bread. He and others just like him wish to be Richard Cory, a wealthy and elegant man. As the last line reveals, however, being rich is not sufficient for Cory to be happy. While the poor keep on living, working, and struggling, Richard Cory ironically kills himself, even though he has a seemingly perfect life.

The poem "Richard Cory" was adapted into a song by Paul Simon and recorded by Simon & Garfunkel.

Explain Mill's "On Individuality" lays the groundwork for the development of liberal democracies in Western nations.
Ksju [112]

"On Individuality" is chapter 3 in J. S. Mill's book "On Liberty". In it, Mill discusses - even though he does not define - individuality and how happiness and achievement of superior pleasures come from it. Conformity to customs could cost a person's joy in living and his/her freedom of thought.

Individuality is directly connected to liberal democracy in the sense that such form of government allows for it to be practiced. Both ideas walk hand in hand. If a person seeks individuality, he/she is striving to think and believe whatever he/she chooses right and proper, or even most profitable. Other forms of government - such as monarchy or aristocracy -, tend to limit or, on occasion, even erase the possibility of self-expression.

It is Mill's opinion that participation in a democracy cultivates the character of the citizens. And cultivation of character is a possible definition of the word individuality. Individuality is achieved when a person is able to see him/herself respected, his/her ideas heard, even if not accepted. The necessary freedom for a person to do that - to think, talk and act on his/her own terms - comes with democracy.
