Question

In the final stanzas of both poems, how does a poetic technique help develop each poet's perspective on video games?

By using reflective language, each poet reveals personal values—growth for the player and responsibility for the parent—highlighting their contrasting viewpoints.

By shifting from rhyme to free verse, the poets signal a change in speaker and audience.

By explaining how video games are designed, the poets justify why their opinions differ.

By introducing dialogue, the poets allow both perspectives to debate each other directly.

Answer 1

By using reflective language, each poet reveals personal values—growth for the player and responsibility for the parent—highlighting their contrasting viewpoints.

Explanation: in the final stanzas both poets step back and reflect, making explicit their attitudes toward games (one emphasizing learning/growth, the other duty/concern). The other choices misread the technique: there’s no decisive formal shift from rhyme to free verse, no technical design explanation that resolves their disagreement, and no new dialogue introduced to stage a direct debate.
