Answer: E

Explanation: A) "news" is singular so "were" should be singular, i.e. "was"

B) redundant, unnecessary

C) plural/singular subject/verb concordance

D) "in order" is wordy, redundant and unnecessary. "in addition" is used improperly. Although this does have the correct structure of the idiomatic "in addition to", it is used incorrectly. "in addition to" should begin a phrase/complete thought; should start a sentence, right after conjunction or comma.

E) active tense, bypassing plural/singular agreement problem; this is tricky! Correct, concise sentence. If you have issues with modifier "by swift messenger", this is modifying "four days". e.g. the mail took four days by post to arrive. "by post" lets us know what type of mailing method took four days.

Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of the poem.
nataly862011 [7]

This poem is an example of brilliant short lyric which is sectioned into three stanzas. Each stanza carries six lines which help create a simple structure and a regular rhyme scheme- ABABAB.

The author wrote this piece of work in iambic tetrameter. Multiple poetic devices are utilized by Lord Byron, such as alliterations, imagery, metaphors, as well as similes. The diction is also very clear without any complex connotations which ultimately assists the readers to understand the poem more easily.

Therefore, after my analysis of this work, I suggest you to choose option "a", because the author's motif is none other than the option beneath this paragraph.

a) By organizing the poem into three short and even stanzas, Byron is able to convey the work's themes directly and succinctly.
