Answer 2

The correct answer is the following: option B. When reading and analyzing a poem it is not a step to ignore any punctuation while reading it. When a student or any individual desires to read and analyze a poem there are a few steps or tips that can help with the task. Identifying the speaker of the poem, any literary devices or elements in the poem and of course to read the poem aloud. To ignore any punctuation while reading the poem is not a step when trying to analyze one, as punctuation is a key element in any literature piece, as it gives structure and sense to it. If the student would ignore the punctuation of the poem, he/she would probably misunderstand parts of it that are elemental to be able to analyze it.
