What the Exam Would Ask of This Poem

Captions available

The idea

A speaker-attitude question would offer paired options from the last unit's lexicon. Possessive but urbane, jealous yet self-satisfied, or menacing beneath courtesy would all be live. The answer must account for the politeness as well as the murder, because both are on the page.

In practice

The politeness needs accounting for too.

Where people slip

An option ignoring his manners is incomplete.
