Question

Er's

Answer 1

Answer:

D. By chance or nature's changing course  untrimm'd.

Explanation:

Inversion or reverse word order is a literary technique used by writers when they deviate from the conventional pattern of writing. This means that they intentionally place the words, phrases, or sentences against the traditional sentence form/ structure.

William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18" is one of the many love poems he wrote. The sonnet also used a number of inversions, including one in the line "By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd." The presence of "untrimm'd" at the end is purposefully placed to maintain the rhyme scheme of the whole sonnet.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
