Question

unit test unit test complete 21 read the poem “roses,” by george eliot. you love the roses—so do i. i wish the sky would rain down roses, as they rain from off the shaken bush. why will it not? then all the valley would be pink and white and soft to tread on. they would fall as light as feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be like sleeping and like waking, all at once! what is the main style difference between “roses” and “night”? “roses” uses a more modern form. “night” uses a rhyme scheme. “roses” uses trochaic pentameter. “roses” uses iambic pentameter.

Explanation:

The question asks about the style difference of a poem. Analyzing poetic form, rhyme - scheme, and meter are key aspects in literature. "Roses" does not follow a strict modern form. It has no obvious regular rhyme - scheme. Trochaic pentameter has stressed - unstressed patterns per line and iambic pentameter has unstressed - stressed patterns. Looking at "Roses", it does not follow trochaic pentameter but also doesn't follow iambic pentameter strictly. However, without the text of "Night", we assume based on the options that we are looking for a basic style difference. Modern form is a broad term for contemporary and non - traditional poetic forms which is not applicable here. Trochaic and iambic pentameter are specific metrical patterns not evident in this poem. A rhyme scheme is a pattern of rhyming lines. Since the question implies a comparison and rhyme scheme is a common point of comparison for style in poetry, "Night" using a rhyme scheme is a likely style difference.

Answer:

"Night" uses a rhyme scheme.
