Which of the following is a true statement about reading poetry out loud?

A comma in a line of verse indicates that you come to a full stop.

No punctuation in a line of poetry tells you to continue to the next line without pausing.

You do not need to be concerned about the punctuation when reading a poem out loud.

A colon indicates that you should increase the pace of your reading.

The punctuation is very important in poetry, even more when it is being read outload, the pauses added by the comma, colon or semicolon are used by the author on purpose to emphasize certain things or allow the audience to think on the last idea for a moment, according this we can conclude that when you are reading poetry out loud A comma in a line of verse indicates that you come to a full stop.
