Read the scenario below and answer the question that follows. Artemidorus writes a letter to warn Caesar about the plot against his life. Which structure would Shakespeare use for this scenario?

Answer
A
rhymed iambic pentameter
B
blank verse
C
prose
D
stage directions

Explanation

In Shakespeare’s plays, letters and other written documents are generally presented in prose rather than verse. Artemidorus’s warning is a letter, so the suitable structure is prose. Blank verse is commonly used for spoken dialogue, while stage directions describe actions rather than the letter’s wording.
