Question

ME

When a poem does not have a specific rhyme, rhythm, meter and/or length, it's written in
free verse. While free verse has no set rules, it often contains poetic elements like figurative
language and sound devices.
Figurative language is descriptive language that means more than just its literal meaning.
Examples of figurative language include similes, metaphors, hyperbole and personification.
Sound devices, including alliteration, assonance and onomatopoeia, are used by poets to
create emphasis and meaning through the sound of their words.
According to the passage, what must a poem include to be considered free verse?
A figurative language
B
D
an ABAB rhyme scheme
onomatopoeia or alliteration
none of the above

Answer 1

Answer: A.) Figurative language

Explanation: The passage states "While free verse has no set rules, it often contains poetic elements like figurative language and sound devices." If the question is multiple choice, then you could also pick onomatopoeia or alliteration, but I'm fairly sure it is just A.
