Answer 1

The correct answer is C. The poem's circumstantial context

Explanation:

In poetry, the dramatic situation refers to the context or situation the poet creates in order to contextualize the conflict or situation that is being described in the poem, this implies the dramatic situation is the context in which the feelings, characters, and events that are described in the poem take place. This element allows the poet to involve the reader into the poem and introduce different actions that make the plot of the poem evolve; however, it is not necessary to have a dramatic situation and because of this, some poems just describe some situation without any defined context. Considering this, it can be concluded the dramatic situation refers to the "poem's circumstantial context" or the situation or plot created by the poet for the character, actions and other elements of the poem.
