Answer:

Phillis Wheatley choose to write like this because:

1. Poems written in iambic pentameter expresses decorum and grandeur of the language.

2. Each couplet expresses a complete thought.

3. There is an "explosion" good rhyming couplets bring. It brings both the rhyme and the idea into a quick close in two lines.

Explanation:

Some of the benefits are:

1. This form of writing enabled Wheatley to purposefully advocate her freedom.

2. It was a tool to deliver safely on the subject matter for a slave poet in a dominantly white society.

3. Wheatley utilizes satire to force an acknowledgement of equality in the eyes of God by her keepers.

4. It makes poems and poets become serious and seriously accepted by readers.

The one disadvantage I discovered is that it seems somehow cumbersome to understand by laymen.

"I want to get no less than a B on my speech," Ashley states as a desired outcome; however, this is not a proper purpose stateme
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The correct answer is free of vague language.

Explanation:

The language we want to teach is called vague, because of how little specific it is. This makes people who are looking for meaning to those words. Once this clarification is made, the second is to break old structures that lie in our mind: The phrases do not have to be complete, the words do not have to have the same meaning for everyone.

Lazy language is another way of speaking. It has the peculiarity that avoids or dodges people's resistance. However it has limits. I have always said it: It cannot go against the values of a person.
