Read these lines from samuel taylor coleridge's "the rime of the ancient mariner." water, water, every where, and all the boards did shrink; water, water, every where, nor any drop to drink. which of these poetic devices is best illustrated in these lines? ambiguity irony metaphor connotation

The correct answer is B. Irony

Explanation:

The irony is a poetic device in which there is an incongruence between the expectations in a situation and the reality or real outcome. In the case of the excerpt poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" irony is the main poetic device used, because the author explains the mariner is surrounded by water and despite this, there is no water for him to drink "Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink" which show an incongruence between what is expected and the reality or between a lot of water but not of this being appropriate to drink. Thus, the poetic device these lines illustrate is Irony.
