The Devil take me," said he, "if I have made a farthing!"
This statement illustrates irony of situation. For, Tom Walker in his miserly way is simply mitigating his financial gain from the man, but the reality is that the Devil does actually take him. Three knocks come at Tom's door; there stands a black man with a black horse, who tells Tom that he is "come for." Because Tom has left his big Bible on the desk and the little one in his coat, Tom is "taken."
I would say either A or B but personally i would go with B.
Answer:
<em>"It is very foolish of me to ask for money!"</em>

A exclamatory sentence implies great emotion and ends in an exclamation point.
Change the ending punctuation to an exclamation point.
It is very foolish of me to ask for money.
<em>It is very foolish of me to ask for money!</em>

The sentence implies more emotion with an exclamation mark than a period.
Hope this helps.
Dramatic irony is when the audience is aware of something that the characters do not know. Dramatic irony heightens the suspense for the audience and provides an additional layer of meaning.
This conversation, taken from Act IV, Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet, is full of irony. Capulet and his wife do not know of Juliet's plan to fake her death and elope with Romeo. They are unaware that the "holy friar" they so admire is helping Juliet run off with the son of their enemy. When Lady Capulet says "there is time enough," she is not aware that in the morning she will find her daughter "dead" (and she will not know Juliet's death is a fake one).
Meanwhile, the audience is aware of Juliet's plan to marry Romeo despite the fact she is engaged to marry Paris. The audience is aware that the friar is helping them. They know he has provided Juliet with a potion that will cause her to sleep so deeply she will appear dead. Finally, the know that there is not enough time. When the go to church again, it will be for Juliet's funeral, not her wedding to Paris.
When the audience hears Capulet and his wife say these things, the effect is a strong one. The dramatic irony increases the suspense and adds to the tension about what will happen. Finally, the audience is left to wonder: how will the Capulets feel when they find their daughter dead? And how will they react when they learn "this reverend holy friar" played a part in this tragedy?
