Question 2 • English Language Arts 12

Keats’s poem is titled "Ode on a Grecian Urn." What does the choice of the word ode tell the reader about the poem? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
The poem includes a theme.
B
The poem is written in a formal style.
C
The poem explores a serious topic.
D
The poem expresses emotions.
E
The poem is addressed to something.

Explanation

An ode is a formal lyric poem that addresses a person, object, or idea, often in a serious and dignified way. Here, the urn is the poem’s subject, so the title suggests the poem is addressed to something, written in a formal style, and explores a serious topic. Having a theme or expressing emotion can apply to many kinds of poems, so those features alone do not define an ode.
