To make poems easier to say and remember

Answer 2

Answer:

D. To make poems easier to say and remember

Explanation:

They intended to make the poems memorable. Rhythm sticks in someone's head after it is repeated enough times. It makes it all easier to repeat and remember. They wanted the poems to be easily understood and passed along, even though it wasn't really how people used to talk. Eventually, it was a recognizable writing style and when well done enough, an admirable one.
