A. by completing the speaker's thought. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have question and further clarification.

Answer 2

A. by completing the speaker’s thought

Step-by-step explanation:

This couplet doesn't seem to be specially sarcastic nor have any sort of emphasis on sarcasm or of any other kind in derived from the couplet structure. There's also no description of the king's action, therefore, we are left with "by completing the speaker’s thought", which it does seem accurate, since the second sentence does complete the larger meaning of what is being said.
