Question 23 • English III

Read the lines from "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls." Along the sea-sands damp and brown The traveller hastens toward the town, What is the effect of the enjambment in these two lines?

Answer
A
It emphasizes the idea that each line is a separate thought.
B
It creates a rhyme scheme between the two lines.
C
It encourages the reader to pause between the two lines.
D
It strengthens the connection between the two lines.

Explanation

Enjambment occurs when a sentence or phrase continues past the end of a line without a full stop. Here, “Along the sea-sands damp and brown” leads directly into “The traveller hastens toward the town,” so the reader carries the thought across the line break. This strengthens the connection between the two lines, choice D.
