"A Valentine"
by Edgar Allan Poe

For her this rhyme is penned whose luminous eyes,
Brightly expressive as the twins of Leda,
Shall find her own sweet name, that nestling lies
Upon the page, enwrapped from every reader.
Search narrowly the lines!—they hold a treasure
Divine—a talisman—an amulet
That must be worn at heart. Search well the measure—
The words—the syllables! Do not forget
The trivialest point, or you may lose your labor
And yet there is in this no Gordian knot
Which one might not undo without a sabre,
If one could merely comprehend the plot.
Enwritten upon the leaf where now are peering
Eyes scintillating soul, there lie perdus
Three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing
Of poets, by poets—as the name is a poet's, too,
Its letters, although naturally lying
Like the knight Pinto—Mendez Ferdinando—
Still form a synonym for Truth—Cease trying!
You will not read the riddle, though you do the best you can do.

Read the following excerpt from Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi: My father was a justice of the peace, and I supposed he possessed the power of life and death over all men, and could hang anybody that offended him. This was distinction enough for me as a general thing; but the desire to be a steamboatman kept intruding, nevertheless. I first wanted to be a cabin-boy . .. later I thought I would rather be the deck-hand who stood on the end of the stage-plank with the coil of rope in his hand. ... But these were only day-dreams-they were too heavenly to be contemplated as real possibilities. What is one effect of the irony in this passage? O A. It makes fun of the notion that a son of a justice of the peace would want to become a thief. O B. It creates humor in that the son of a justice of the peace would find manual labor a more satisfying career. O C.

Answers

Answer: B) It creates humor in that the son of a justice of the peace would find
manual labor a more satisfying career.

Explanation: an irony is a state of affairs or an event that seems contrary to what
one expects and it often has an amusing result. In the given excerpt from "Life on
the Mississippi" by Mark Twain, we can see an example of an irony in the fact that
the speaker is the son of a justice of the peace (that was very respected and important career) but he finds a manual labor(steamboat man or a cabin-boy) more satisfying.
