Question 3 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 10

What evidence supports the conclusion that the poem is written in free verse? Select two options.

Answer
A
There are three stanzas.
B
There is no rhyme scheme.
C
The lines are unequal in length.
D
There is a regular rhyme scheme.
E
There is a pattern of stressed syllables.

Explanation

Free verse does not follow a regular rhyme scheme or a fixed, repeating structure. The absence of a rhyme scheme and lines that are unequal in length both support the conclusion that the poem is written in free verse. Having three stanzas alone does not show that a poem is free verse.
