To analyze the poem and determine which statement is true, let's look at each option:
A. Line 1 of the poem rhymes with line 4 of the first stanza.
- Line 1: "This is how I dance—"
- Line 4: "you'll fit in right here."
- These lines do not rhyme.
B. Except line 6, each line has the same number of syllables.
- Let's count the syllables in each line:
- This is how I dance— (6)
- not the way you groove. (6)
- If you get a chance, (5)
- you need to improve. (6)
- Don't feel so uptight. (5)
- What do you have to fear? (7)
- Dancing is so right. (5)
- You'll fit in right here. (5)
- Line 6 has 7 syllables while the others vary. So this is not true.
C. Line 1 of the poem rhymes with line 2 of the second stanza.
- Line 1: "This is how I dance—"
- Line 2 of the second stanza: "What do you have to fear?"
- These lines do not rhyme.
D. No lines in the poem have the same number of syllables.
- However, lines have the following counts:
- 6: lines 1, 2, 4
- 5: lines 3, 5, 7, 8
- 7: line 6
- So, there are lines that share the same syllable counts (5 and 6), making this statement false.
Thus, the result is that none of the statements A, B, C, or D are true. Therefore, it seems the correct answer is that there is no true statement provided. If forced to choose, option A is the closest since it is not an outright factual statement as it doesn't rhyme, but it is about a misconception regarding lines 1 and 4. However, the strongest incorrect options are actually B and D.
Considering the nature of the assignment, none of these statements are absolutely true. Would you like assistance with anything else?
