Answer: In the context of a Shakespearean sonnet, a couplet represents <u>the final two lines (A)</u>.
Explanation:
In poetry, a couplet is a pair of lines that typically rhyme and have the same length. Sometimes, poets write the whole poem in couplet form. However, Shakespeare often used rhyming couplets at the end of his sonnets, to make the ending more effective. One such example is a couplet from his Sonnet 81:
"You still shall live, such virtue hath my pen,
<em>Where breath most breathes, even in the mouths of men."</em>
The passage is here:
<span>Spare the rod and spoil the child."—Ichabod Crane’s scholars certainly were not spoiled.
I would not have it imagined, however, that he was one of those cruel potentates of the school, who joy in the smart of their subjects; on the contrary, he administered justice with discrimination rather than severity; taking the burden off the backs of the weak, and laying it on those of the strong. Your mere puny stripling, that winced at the least flourish of the rod, was passed by with indulgence; but the claims of justice were satisfied by inflicting a double portion on some little, tough, wrong-headed, broad-skirted Dutch urchin, who sulked and swelled and grew dogged and sullen beneath the birch. All this he called "doing his duty by their parents;" and he never inflicted a chastisement without following it by the assurance, so consolatory to the smarting urchin, that "he would remember it, and thank him for it the longest day he had to live."

The correct answer is "<span>Ichabod was a fair teacher who was misunderstood by his students."</span>
