Question 3 • ARC English 10 Semester 2 CR/Summer

“Blank verse” refers to __________.

Answer
A
poetry with fourteen lines and a pattern of rhyme
B
poetry without rhyme or meter
C
unrhymed poetry written in iambic pentameter
D
poetry in which every other line rhymes

Explanation

Blank verse is poetry that does not rhyme but follows a regular meter, most often iambic pentameter. Iambic pentameter has five pairs of unstressed and stressed syllables in each line. Choice C, “unrhymed poetry written in iambic pentameter,” gives this definition; poetry without meter is not blank verse.
