Answer:
If your options are:
A. The poem uses variations of meter to affect rhyme.
B. The poem’s sentences flow across stanzas.
C. The poem’s stanzas have varying lengths.
D. The poem uses nontraditional syntax and rhyme scheme.
Then the answer is D.
Explanation:
The nontraditional syntax is best shown in the use of enjambment - interrupting the thought and syntactic structure in the middle and moving the rest to the next line. For example: "and older than the // flow of human blood (...)"
Here, the definite article "the" has been separated from the noun "flow", which means the phrase is visually broken in half.
- A isn't true because this poem conveys its meaning through rhythm and not rhyme. There are virtually no rhymes here and the syntax (sentence structure) is disrupted, invoking the sound of a river flowing in irregular but consistent waves.
- B isn't true because the sentences do flow across lines but not across stanzas.
- The stanzas do have varying lengths. But even though this element was pretty rare prior to the 20th century, it is not exclusive to modernist poetry. That's why C isn't true either.
Answer:
C. A clause has a subject and verb, but a phrase does not.
Explanation:
Phrases and clauses are the two important parts of the sentences. A clause is the part of the sentence which includes a subject and a verb. On the other hand, a phrase is the part of the sentence which does not include a subject and a verb. The meaning of the clause is complete while the phrase does not stand alone or give complete meaning. A phrase complements the structure of the sentence. Both the clause and the phrase exists in the same line.
Answer:
Children can learn to help out by completing their chores.
Explanation:
"Their" specifies that it is plural which is also what "Children" specifies. If it were to be singular, you could put "A child can learn to help out by completing his or her chores."
