The Italian sonnet was mostly used by Petrarch, and it has a specific structure. It contains 14 lines, separated into one octave (a stanza of 8 lines), and one sestet (a stanza of 6 lines).

When it comes to the relation between the structure and the theme, this means that the octave introduces the idea of love within the sonnet. The poet talks about his beloved and gives us an insight into his feelings. On the other hand, the sestet analyzes his own emotions and explains in further detail why he is so infatuated with the woman (in Petrarch's case, he always wrote about Laura).

Although there is no record of poet Edmund Spenser's parentage, we do know that as a youth Spenser attended the Merchant Tailors

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

E). The Merchant Tailors' School did not reduce its fees for the children of the more affluent Guild members.

Explanation:

As per the question, option E displays the assumption 'the Merchant Tailors' School did not reduce its fees for the children of the more affluent Guild members' on which the argument lies as it is rightly assumed by logic. This assumption clearly justifies the conclusion 'lesser affluent families receiving a fee reduction' aptly. The other options fail to validate the conclusion as it offers an illogical yet inappropriate claim. Therefore, <u>option E</u> is the correct answer as it reasonably justifies the claim/argument.
