Question

What is the most probable reason that rhyme and repetition first found their ways into poems?

a. They were written for the upper class.
b. The poems were easier to remember and pass on.
c. Heroes in epics tended to talk that way.
d. People wanted a beat they could dance to.

Answer 1

The most probable reason that rhyme and repetition first found their ways into poems would be that "b. The poems were easier to remember and pass on," since these were largely passed down through "word of mouth"--and not writing.
