Answer: I would contend that the right answer is actually the D) by expressing the speaker's sarcasm.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answer, it can be added that by using a rhyming and concise couplet, the author, the brilliant African American poet Phillis Wheatley (1753-1784), was able to very effectively call attention to her sarcastic words, which apparently attempt at praising, but were truly aimed at mocking, King George III, who was King of England during the American Revolution. This poem was, in fact, a harsh criticism of the monarch and the economic burden he imposed on the American colonies.

bija089 [108]
Macbeth is trapped between the reality and what was promised to him. He has already seen one part of this promise come true - that he will become the thane of Cawdor. But he is aware that, to become the king, he will most likely have to murder the present king Duncan, and take his place. This thought terrifies him, and yet he cannot resist it. His transformation is quick and sudden, just like the turn of events. From a man who had doubted the weird sisters' prophecy, much as he liked it, he becomes a man who is ready to admit to himself what needs to be done.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

When reading a work of creative nonfiction, it is important to remember the story is true. This means the author does not have as much artistic freedom as a fiction writer or poet might, because they cannot invent events which did not happen.
