O'Henry used irony in "The Gift of the Magi". This tool was essential to developing the story's theme by showing that the couple bought gifts for each other that they could not actually use at the moment. In addition, the author used this fact to show that people of the society should treasure the things they've received from others, because you may never know if they sacrificed THEIR most treasured possession to aquire the gift.

Georgia [21]

Answer: A. abcb

In this excerpt, Dickinson uses the rhyme scheme "abcb," as she rhymes "home" with "dome."

A rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhymes that a poem has. When we write out a rhyme scheme, we use letters to indicate which lines rhyme. Lines that have the same letter rhyme with each other. Therefore, in this example, the lines that end with "home" and "dome" are both labelled "b."
