Answer:

Explanation:

B: Certainly not the answer. He's not thinking of anything political. Every figure of speech makes the world a wonderful beautiful place filled with the blossoms of spring and the days that hold them. Japanese and Chinese poetry almost always thinks of the smallest  details when contemplating the worst things life has to offer.

C: He wasn't hungry, at least not primarily. It wasn't only the fruit's skin he wanted, it was the peaceful shade the orchard offered him.

D and A: A case could be made for either. I find D to be true, but kind of flat. I think A is better because each part of the poem is a small detail of what blossoms mean to him.

- Stanza  - a group of lines in a poem

- Couplet  - a stanza made up of two lines

- Octave  - a stanza made up of eight lines

- Sestet  - a stanza made up of six lines

Explanation:

The given terms related to poetry have been appropriately matched to its definition above.

Enjambment is the literary device in which an idea is continued across a line break without any punctuation to mark a stop or end. It is commonly employed in poetry for continuing a rhythm/idea without any restrictions.

Caesura is demonstrated as the metrical pause in a poetic line at the end of a phrase and before the beginning of another. It is denoted by a comma, two lines, tick, etc. It allows the author to add a dramatic and emotional touch to the idea.

A Quatrain is defined as the stanza consisting of four lines. It is a very popular form employed in poetry to add structure and rhythm.

Stanza is described as the 'group of lines' with a specific rhyme and meter. It helps in giving form to the ideas in a poem.

Couplet is a couple of lines rhyming at the end which allows rhythm in poetry.

Octave and sestet are the stanzas consisting of eight and fourteen lines respectively. They together contribute to formation of petrarchan sonnet.
