Hi! I’m taking U. S. History Honors in the 9th grade and we just reviewed this for the EOC!
The Constitutional Convention was necessary because the Articles of Confederation could not be revised or amended due to the fact that Rhode Island refused to send delegates. A unanimous decision was needed to make any amends to the government under the Articles of Confederation so the delegates decided to form a new government. The men all agreed that the federal government was weak under the Articles of Confederation because the Americans who made it were afraid of a strong central government due to the unjust oppression that Britain put upon them as colonies. The delegates at the constitutional convention were both afraid that people were going to believe they were overthrowing their current government and determined to make changes to benefit their nation to preserve their fledgling country. They made sure to draft a constitution that had both a strong central government and a bill of rights (this was to appease anti-federalists who were afraid the new government would be too controlling or become corrupt) so the government could never take away what they termed “unalienable rights”.

Answer:
A. Epic poetry consists of one general form, whereas lyric poetry includes several specific forms, such as the sonnet.
Explanation:
An epic poem is the type of poetry that narrates the heroic deeds of a character(s). It is typically written in honor or praise of the character(s) and can be as long as a whole book. It also involves the presence of supernatural beings such as gods and monsters etc. Most common and famous epic poems are Homer's "The Illiad", John Milton's "Paradise Lost" and Dante's "Divine Comedy" among others.
On the other hand, a lyric poem is where the verses are short and has a musical tone to it. They are different types of lyric poems, such as the sonnets and expresses personal emotions and feelings while also using the first person narrative voice. Examples of lyric poems are William Shakespeare's "Sonnets", "I Felt A Funeral In My Brain" by Emily Dickenson etc.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
To refute something means to prove that something is not true, wrong, incorrect. So the answer would be none of those... I would choose B, it's close in meaning.
But id the questions ask what is the antonym, then the answer would be A.<span /><span />
