C. Lyric poetry is written in highly musical language.

Answer 2

Answer: C. Lyric poetry is written in highly musical language.

Lyric poetry is a type of poetry that conveys deep, personal emotions or feelings. Therefore, this type of poetry is typically written in the first person. Lyric poetry was originally written in order to serve as accompaniment to the lyre, a Greek musical instrument. Because of this, lyric poetry is written in highly musical language. It is one of the three broad Aristotelian categories of poetry: lyrical, dramatic and epic.
