In poetry and literature, irony is used as a rhetorical or literary technique to elaborate on what something appears to be on the surface in contrast to what it actually is. In the text, situational irony is used when the traveller speaks of the king's words engraved on the pedestal. Ozymandias, the king, is proud of his amazing works and of all he constructed in his lifetime, believing that would make him mighty for all time. However, nothing remains around the pedestal; the desert's sands have engulfed all of his colossal works. Therefore, it is the contradiction between what is boasted (that is, the amazing constructions) versus what is actually there (a large stretch of sand and decay) that constitutes the irony in the passage.

The sentence that best connects the two ideas is the first one: The park benches need a new coat of paint, so we should volunteer to paint them.
This is a complex sentence since it includes two clauses: an independent clause and a dependent clause.<u> They have been joined by means of the conjunction "so" to indicate that benches sould be painted as a result of knowing that they need a new coat of paint</u>. <u>"So" indicates a cause-effect relationship</u>. On the other hand, the other option do not make any sense since the clauses have been joined by "however", an adverb that is used to indicate contradiction, and "although", a subordinating conjunction that connects ideas that contrast. <u>The clauses contained in this sentence do not present ideas that contrast nor express a contradiction</u>; therefore, a conjunction that indicates cause-effect relationship such as "so" must be used.
