Question

question 9 of 10
which gives the best reason that rhyme has been used so much?

a. it helps make words memorable.

b. it makes poetry seem more serious.

c. it is surprising and unexpected in poetry.

d. it was once banned by powerful authorities.

Explanation:

Rhyme creates a rhythmic, repetitive pattern that aids in retaining and recalling language, which is a core reason it is widely used in poetry, songs, and oral traditions. The other options are incorrect: rhyme does not inherently make poetry more serious, it is a common (not surprising) poetic device, and there is no widespread history of it being banned by authorities.

Answer:

A. It helps make words memorable.
