Question

After identifying unfamiliar words and paraphrasing text, what is the final step to finding the overall central idea of a sonnet?
A) consulting a dictionary
B) looking for context clues
C) linking the big ideas in each stanza
D) putting the sonnet into everyday speech

Answer 1

Best answer is "linking the big ideas in each stanza"

Linking the major ideas of each stanza, or quatrain, helps to identify the theme and central idea of a sonnet. Generally, each stanza will have a major idea, and the linking of these ideas establishes the theme of the sonnet.
