Answer:
Phillis Wheatley choose to write like this because:
1. Poems written in iambic pentameter expresses decorum and grandeur of the language.
2. Each couplet expresses a complete thought.
3. There is an "explosion" good rhyming couplets bring. It brings both the rhyme and the idea into a quick close in two lines.

Some of the benefits are:
1. This form of writing enabled Wheatley to purposefully advocate her freedom.
2. It was a tool to deliver safely on the subject matter for a slave poet in a dominantly white society.

4. It makes poems and poets become serious and seriously accepted by readers.
