Question

Answer 2

Answer:

A.Pause briefly after colons, semicolons, and periods.

C.Read capitalized words in a more pronounced manner.

Explanation:

The function of punctuation such as colons, semicolons, and periods in a text is to mark when a brief pause should be taken when reading, as they indicate the limits and relations of sentences and their parts, and this is also true for poetry.

Likewise, when a poet capitalizes all the letters in a word, he or she does it to put emphasis in an idea, so that word should be read in a more pronounced manner.
