Answer:
If your options are:
A. The poem uses variations of meter to affect rhyme.
B. The poem’s sentences flow across stanzas.
C. The poem’s stanzas have varying lengths.
D. The poem uses nontraditional syntax and rhyme scheme.
Then the answer is D.
Explanation:
The nontraditional syntax is best shown in the use of enjambment - interrupting the thought and syntactic structure in the middle and moving the rest to the next line. For example: "and older than the // flow of human blood (...)"
Here, the definite article "the" has been separated from the noun "flow", which means the phrase is visually broken in half.
- A isn't true because this poem conveys its meaning through rhythm and not rhyme. There are virtually no rhymes here and the syntax (sentence structure) is disrupted, invoking the sound of a river flowing in irregular but consistent waves.
- B isn't true because the sentences do flow across lines but not across stanzas.
- The stanzas do have varying lengths. But even though this element was pretty rare prior to the 20th century, it is not exclusive to modernist poetry. That's why C isn't true either.
Bob: So, what did you call me up here for?
Jen: I wanted to talk to you about the Jefferson's. I just wanted to let you know that they have been through a lot over the past few days. So, if you could just give them time and let them ease up a bit, then that would be great.
Make sense? Also, hope I helped! I apologize if the answer is wrong.
I didn't actually understand the question but I will try to solve it.
Length of ribbon = 3 ft
Total number of small pieces = 8
So, length of each piece = 3/8 = 0.375 ft
1. a focus on fear and horror
2. an exploration of strong emotions
3. a reliance on mystery and suspense
Poe creates fear, horror, mystery, and suspense when the narrator says that he killed the old man, then describes the events leading up to the old man's death. He explores the strong emotions or the narrator's madness as well. There are no supernatural creatures or events in the passage or in the entire story so 4 and 5 are completely incorrect.
