The correct answer is Petrarchan (or Italian) sonnet. It is structurally divided into two stanzas, an 8-line stanza (an octave), and a 6-line stanza (sestet). Even the rhyme supports this structural division: the octave usually has the ABBAABBA rhyme pattern, while the rhyme pattern of the sestet may vary (the most typical arrangements being CDECDE or CDCDCD).
The word that is used incorrectly is "diffuse" in "diffuse the situation," where the correct word to be employed would be "defuse," as explained below.
<h3>Diffuse vs. defuse</h3>
Although the verbs "diffuse" and "defuse" sound alike, their meanings are completely different. That is why the use of "diffuse" in the sentence "The queen attempts to diffuse the situation" is incorrect. Let's compare the meaning:
- To diffuse: to spread something.
- To defuse: to calm or settle something.
Taking the context into consideration, where a murder seems about to happen, it would make sense for the queen to try to calm or settle the situation - that is, to "defuse" it. It would not make any sense for her to try and spread the situation or "diffuse it".
With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the answer provided is correct.
