Read the passage from "the lady or the tiger": and if innocent, he was rewarded on the spot, whether he liked it or not. what is ironic about this statement? a. it's possible to dislike being rewarded for innocence b. the prisoner always likes being rewarded, because the reward is a beautiful woman c. the definition of a reward is something that is liked and appreciated

I believe the answer is A! Irony is the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect. In this instance, a reward in most peoples opinions is good and the statement suggests otherwise.

this is more of an opinionated response

explanation:

answer it yourself

the difference between an explicit and implicit meaning is that the explicit meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to interpretation. an implicit meaning is an implied meaning. kabir's poetry is both explicit and implicit in that it can be interpreted on different levels. the explicit meaning leaves nothing to interpretation while the implicit meaning leaves lots open to interpretation. an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the spiritual lover".
