Answer:

Sarcastic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Langston Hughes' poem "Madam and the Rent Man," is a poem of short lines but a hilarious and entertaining conversation between a tenant and a rent collector. The poem revolves around themes of poverty, the dire situation of people's lives, and the insensitivity of the richer ones.

In the given excerpt from the last lines of the poem, the women remarked that the agent agrees with her in their mutual feeling of not "pleased". This shows a sarcastic remark by the woman to the agent who had come to collect the rent even though all 'promises' to make repairs to the place had been ignored.

Thus, the correct answer is sarcastic.
