Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

But the true love he desired

Had not found him

"Perhaps she's just around the corner," he joked.

A matter of time.

How does the poet use irony in this excerpt from "They Shot Wook Kim"? Select all that apply.

1 Wook Kim's true love was literally "just around the corner" the night he was killed.

2 Rather than saying Wook Kim had not found true love, it says true love "had not found him," just as death, ultimately, "found him."

3 It was not "true love" but Wook Kim's death that was "just around the corner."

4 Wook Kim thinks it is only "a matter of time" when he in fact has very little time left.
