Read The Lady Or The Tiger?, by Frank Stockton
How did the king keep from feeling guilty about this form of justice? *
a. He did not watch the festivities.
b. He made his daughter in charge of signaling judgement
c. He said the criminals made their own choices, not him.
d. He was barbaric and just did not feel guilty.
Answer: c. He said the criminals made their own choices, not him.
Explanation:
The arena of the king was meant as a device of poetic justice, where a crime was punished, or virtue rewarded, depending on what was thought to be an impartial test. Given the chance to choose one out of two doors, the criminal would face either the punishment of a tiger´s attack or the reward of a woman to get married to. Whether they would be punished or rewarded was established based on their own choice, making the King feel like has no responsibility for the result.
The first choice is the right answer, that Polonius is sacrificing his daughter to trick Hamlet. This is when Polonius is convinced that Hamlet is lovesick over Ophelia, and when Hamlet calls him Jephthah, he fixates on the mention of his daughter, and neglects the context of Jephthah having sacrificed his daughter.

Answer:
C. Irony
Explanation:
According to the given sentence, the author talks about people thinking they are liberated because they can take their phone anywhere.
This statement brings a sense of irony because the speaker clearly believes that people are not liberated because they are in fact imprisoned by their attachment/addiction to their mobile phone.
Irony is defined as a situation where events are contrary to what one expects and can be amusing.
I don't see all of the answer choices, but those two lines definitely maintain the lighthearted tone in the poem. wordsworth is describing a positive experience he had with nature, so i would pick whichever choice that says those lines express his happiness.
