The turn, also known as the volta is the point in the sonnet that offers a change in tone or solution to the problem that has been presented. Answer: B
Volta is the the beginning of the sestet and it introduces a pronounced change in tone in the sonnet. It is a term that denotes a dramatic change in thought and/or emotion.
