Question 5 of 12

Ode to Homework
My messy desk
I shall confess:
Makes me obsess
About the stress
of Homework!

Which statement best explains how the rhyme scheme contributes to the meaning of the poem?

A. Because the last line breaks the rhyming pattern, the poem gives extra emphasis to its main topic.

B. Because most lines rhyme, the pace of the poem is slow and lazy.

C. Because the last line breaks the rhyming pattern, the speaker creates a sense of excitement and anticipation.

D. Because most lines rhyme, the poem has a mystical, songlike feel.

Answer 1

The answer would be A, because the use of the exclamation point also puts extra emphasis on homework, and so does the capitalization.
