Answer:
A. Epic poetry consists of one general form, whereas lyric poetry includes several specific forms, such as the sonnet.
Explanation:
An epic poem is the type of poetry that narrates the heroic deeds of a character(s). It is typically written in honor or praise of the character(s) and can be as long as a whole book. It also involves the presence of supernatural beings such as gods and monsters etc. Most common and famous epic poems are Homer's "The Illiad", John Milton's "Paradise Lost" and Dante's "Divine Comedy" among others.
On the other hand, a lyric poem is where the verses are short and has a musical tone to it. They are different types of lyric poems, such as the sonnets and expresses personal emotions and feelings while also using the first person narrative voice. Examples of lyric poems are William Shakespeare's "Sonnets", "I Felt A Funeral In My Brain" by Emily Dickenson etc.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
Answer:
1). A topic is the subject, while the central idea is what the writer thinks about the topic after research.
Explanation:
The key difference between a topic and a central idea is that topic is characterized as the subject of the essay while central idea is described as the primary idea that author would focus upon which he thinks after conducting his research on the topic. Topic is broader term and refers to a category of general area of interest and the central idea functions to explain the subject the author is going to deal with and displays his stand on it. Thus, the main idea is a part of the topic and includes it and hence, <u>option 1</u> is the correct answer.

It is false that by definition, lyric poetry has to tell a story. The idea of poetry is to convey a message and emotion, and not to narrate.
