Question

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. She walks in beauty, like the night / Of cloudless climes and starry skies; (“She walks in beauty”; lines 1-2) The first line of Byron’s poem uses enjambment. True False

Answer 1

True. This demonstrates enjambment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Enjambment is the continuation of a sentence without a pause beyond the end of a line, couplet, or stanza.

The line break between "the night" and "Of cloudless" does not interrupt the continuation of the sentence, so we say the line is enjambed.

The alternative would be an end-stopped line, such as "Of cloudless climes and starry skies;"
