Comparing Poetry and Art

Question 7 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 10

Which lines in this section of the poem are refrains? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
"Do not go gentle into that good night"
B
"Old age should burn and rave at close of day"
C
"Rage, rage against the dying of the light"
D
"Though wise men at their end know dark is right"
E
"Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright"

Explanation

A refrain is a line or phrase repeated throughout a poem. “Do not go gentle into that good night” and “Rage, rage against the dying of the light” recur in the poem, so both are refrains. The other choices are lines from the poem, but they are not repeated refrains.
