Oh, that 2 (italic) looked like a 7 (italic)

Let's just go through all of the options. It is necessary to italicize the titles of published works such as poems and newspapers. Therefore, option A with the title of the poem Intrepid italicized is correct. The Miami Times is also italicized because it's the title of the newspaper. In the last option, "I can never spell separate", separate should be italicized. Separate is being used as the word not as it's meaning. The sentence is not about separating, it's about spelling separate. This means that option B contains an error.
