The correct answer is C) Words can have many different meanings, and the information age has created many new meanings for words.

With the raise of new technology and new forms of communication, technological terms were invented, giving some existing words a double meaning. This can be confusing for someone that didn't grow up with the internet, and someone from the Internet Age would be confused if you told them that monitor is also a type of lizard.

How does the poet use line length for an effect?
gregori [183]
I think the answer is OC because in variable line poetry, the intention is to produce this contrast consciously and to produce a rhythm of shorter and longer lines, like the rhythm of shorter and longer sentences.
