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.

Nature seems to have taken a particular

care to disseminate its blessings between the

different regions of the world with an eye

to this mutual intercourse and traffic among

mankind, that the natives of the several parts

of the globe might have a kind of dependence

upon each other, and are united together by their

common interest. Almost every degree produces

something peculiar to it. The food often is grown in

one country, and (the is gone) sauce at another. The fruits of

Portugal are ripe by the products of Barbados,

and the infusion of a China plant is sweeter  

by (the is gone) pith of the Indian cane.
