The poem INTERFLORA may differ from traditional sonnets such as the Shakespearean or Petrarchan by its number of lines, pattern of meter, shifts in point of view, or use of technical language. Option A is correct if it strays from the typical fourteen-line structure. Options B, C, and D might apply depending on the poem's characteristics.
To evaluate how the poem INTERFLORA might differ from traditional sonnets, we should first understand the standard characteristics of a sonnet. Traditional sonnets like the Shakespearean or Italian (Petrarchan) sonnet have fourteen lines, a specific rhyme scheme, and are typically written in iambic pentameter. They often contain a volta, or a turn in thought. The INTERFLORA poem may differ in several ways, such as the number of lines, the pattern of meter, violating the typical iambic pentameter, or by implementing a shift in point of view without following the conventional stanza structures.
Regarding the options provided, if INTERFLORA does not adhere to the strict fourteen-line structure of traditional sonnets, then the answer would be 'A. The number of lines'. If the poem doesn't maintain a consistent pattern of meter like the iambic pentameter common in sonnets, then it would be 'C.
The pattern of meter'. If there's a deviation from traditional narrative consistency leading to multiple shifts in perspective or voice, then 'B. The shifts in point of view' would be the difference. Lastly, the use of complex or specialized vocabulary not typically found in sonnets would indicate 'D. The use of technical language' as the differing factor.
