Where does the turn/volta occur in the poem?

c

d
the first line of the poem

Answer 1

In the context of poetry, particularly in the Petrarchan sonnet format, the turn or volta typically occurs between the octave and the sestet. This is where the poem shifts in tone, perspective, or argument.

So the correct answer is:
**c) between the octave and the sestet.**
