The second one I would say
The line you’re referring to I believe is from the poem, “Oh, Captain! My Captain!”
The lines refers to the fact that the North has won the Civil War (in the United States).
The correct answer is:
D. Mr. Bennet: Verbal Irony
Verbal irony is defined as an intentional product of the speaker, and is contradictory to his/her emotions and actions. Mr. Bennet was asked if he had any compassion abour Elizabeth poor nerves, then he gave her this sarcastic answer, where the author counts on the reader intelligence to understand what Mr. Bennet really wanted to say.
The narrator, is the protagonist and she starts explaining that she is a teenager. She knows what the latest styles are, she reads the current editorials, she listens to the radio... She wants us to know that she is not a silly girl. In fact, she is a rational thinker. But in fact, when the boy takes her hand and invite her to the sakiting rink, she abandons all her rationality and she believes when he says that he will call her. When days pass by and he doesn't, she says " I'm not so really dumb".
All that, indicates the conflict: she is a sixteen year old, naive and soft in character behind that tough exterior.
Early poems were written in meter first of all to distinguish them from prose, from everything written like a text.
Also, usually these poems were sung as songs, using various musical instruments, so meter was important when it came to rhythm.
