Answer:

"Cork hats and newspapers of more than eight pages were invented for the rain."

Explanation:

This is the statement that most clearly uses a comical tone. In this statement, we see that the speaker talks about items that can be used to protect yourself from the rain. Naturally, we expect that the first item he will mention is the umbrella. However, the author instead talks about objects we might consider random, such as cork hats and thick newspapers as designed to protect you from the rain. This creates a comical tone.

In the poem “Afterwards,” Hardy uses figurative language, including euphemism, to develop meaning and tone. What is the meaning
Ne4ueva [31]
In the poem "Afterwards," Hardy uses many euphemisms to refer to death. He never actually says the words die, dead, or death.

Instead, he says things like: "If I pass during..." Here, the term "pass" is replacing the word "die." He also uses the very wordy "When the Present has latched its postern behind my tremulous stay" (which basically means "When the present is behind me" or "When I am part of the past").

The effect of these euphemisms is to have a quiet, calming effect on the reader. If he constantly used the words "die" and "death" throughout the poem, the dreamlike quality of the poem would be altered.

Instead, using terms like "afterward" and all the other euphemisms allows Hardy to discuss death without actually discussing it. In this way, he wonders what the rest of the world will do "after."
