Question

Which answer choice explains an accurate conclusion based on the poem’s structure?

(1 point)

It is a litany poem in which the speaker, a father, uses second-person narration to give advice to his son.

It is a sonnet that follows an ABAB rhyme scheme and uses second-person narration.

It is a litany poem organized into four quatrains that gives advice to the reader.

It is a variation on the traditional sonnet form in which the speaker talks directly to the reader.

Answer 1

Choice 3.

The poem’s repeated-address/advice pattern fits a litany, and its stanzas are arranged as four quatrains that address the reader. The other options either misidentify the speaker (1), incorrectly call it a sonnet with a specific rhyme scheme (2), or assert a sonnet variation without matching the poem’s stanza structure (4).
