Question 8 • Literature and Composition I

Which statements about William Shakespeare’s sonnets are true? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
They were the first sonnets ever to be written.
B
They frequently focus upon love and romance.
C
They often present a problem and a solution.
D
They were originally written in Italian.
E
They have a fixed rhyme scheme and structure.

Explanation

Shakespeare’s sonnets frequently explore love and romance, so B is true. Many sonnets develop an idea or conflict and then shift toward a response or resolution, making C true. They also follow a regular form: Shakespeare’s sonnets typically have 14 lines and a fixed rhyme scheme, so E is true. They were not the first sonnets, and Shakespeare wrote them in English, not Italian.
