Question

When I read the book, the biography famous,

And is this, then, (said I,) what the author calls a man's
life?
And so will some one, when I am dead and gone, write
my life?
As if any man really knew aught of my life;
Why, even I myself, I often think, know little or nothing
of my real life;
Only a few hints - a few diffused, faint clues and
indirections,
I seek, for my own use, to trace out here.
Which form best describes the poem?
A. Limerick
B. Free verse
C. Ballad
D. Sonnet

Answer 1

B. Free verse

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem is a free verse because it does not follow a specific rhyme scheme or metrical pattern, and it has no stanzas or traditional form. The lines are written in a more natural, conversational way, and the author expresses his thoughts and feelings in a more relaxed, spontaneous style.
