Question

A 2. Why might a poet change the meter in a poem from one line to the next?

Answer 1

Answer:

C). To create a beat.

Explanation:

Meter is defined itself as 'the rhythmic pattern or structure that a poet adopts in each line of the poetry.' The author keeps shifting the meter(emphasizing different syllables) in different lines of the poem as it helps in adding melody, rhythm, and musicality to the poem. The author use of a various set of stressed and unstressed syllables to create this rhythmic structure. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
