The meaning of irony is the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect. In 'The Gift of the Magi' by O.

The story states," For there were the combs -- the special set of objects to hold her hair that Della had wanted ever since she saw them in a shop window. Beautiful combs, made of shells, with jewels at the edge --just the color to wear in the beautiful hair that was no longer hers. They cost a lot of money, she knew, and her heart had wanted them without ever hoping to have them. And now, the beautiful combs were hers, but the hair that should have touched them was gone."

C. The rhyme gives the poem an even rhythm and maintains the tension.
Explanation:
1. None of the other options give as much tension as these lines do. The anticipation and reptition of the lines intensify the action of approaching a chamber door.
2. I feel as though the other options don't quite work as well as this one. A rhyme doesnt necessarily make a poem easier to remember, lines that are more 'significant' is just subjective, and each rhyme doesnt necessarily end an idea.
