A lyric poem is usually short and expresses the personal emotions or feelings of the narrator. It is very rythmic, and the most common meters used in lyric poetry are iambic, trochaic, pyrrhic and anapestic. However, some lyric poems have a combination of more than one meter.

Lift Every Voice and Sing, by James Weldon Johnson, is a relatively short poem consisting of only 3 stanzas of 10, 11 and 12 lines respectively. The poem uses more than one meter, with the use of iambic meter for some lines. For example: "Yet with a steady beat, Have not our weary feet". There is also a lot of rhyming and repetition of patterns throughout the lines, and it deals with vivid imagery to express the emotions of the narrator. All of those elements are characteristic of a lyric poem.

Answer:

I can see that there are no choices.

Cinna wanted Brutus to join his group.

Explanation:

Cinna is one of Julius Caesar's conspirators.

While he was talking to Cassius, he tried to convince him to let Brutus (a noble Roman) join the group. Cassius then told Cinna that the matter would be taken care of smoothly if Cinna would plant fake notes to convince Brutus. The notes were to be placed on Brutus' chair and on the statue of his relative. It contained a message about how dangerous Caesar was as a leader of Rome and that Brutus was better than Caesar.

So, this explains the answer.
