Question 1 • GA-Literature and Composition I

Which best defines a sonnet?

Answer
A
A sonnet is a pair of two rhyming lines.
B
A sonnet is a rhyming poem of fourteen lines.
C
A sonnet is a stanza of four poetic lines.
D
A sonnet is a line of rhyming poetry.

Explanation

A sonnet is a poem made up of fourteen lines, usually following a rhyme scheme and a particular meter. A pair of rhyming lines is a couplet, and a stanza of four lines is a quatrain, so those definitions do not describe a sonnet.
