Question

what is the effect of the poem’s structure? select two correct answers.
a. the speaker identifies the topic of the poem easily.
b. the speaker describes actions and images clearly.
c. the speaker reveals a lot about a daily routine.
d. the speaker uses several symbols to express emotions.
e. the speaker encourages the reader to add to the story.

Explanation:

To determine the effect of a poem’s structure, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A poem’s structure (like stanzas, line breaks) can help the speaker present the topic clearly, as organizational structure aids in topic introduction.
• Option B: Clear description of actions/images is more about diction or imagery, not structure.
• Option C: Revealing a daily routine relates to content, not structure.
• Option D: Using symbols for emotions is about literary devices (symbolism), not structure.
• Option E: Encouraging reader to add to the story is about interactive or open - ended content, not structure.

So the correct options are those related to how structure aids in topic identification and (re - evaluating, if we consider narrative structure for daily routine, but more accurately, A is about structure aiding topic, and maybe C if the poem’s structure (like chronological stanzas) reveals daily routine. Wait, re - analyzing:

Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's re - think. A poem's structure (e.g., stanzaic structure, repetition, line length) can:

• A: If the structure has clear opening stanzas or a refrain that introduces the topic, then A is correct.
• B: Structure (like short lines for sharp actions, long lines for flowing images) can help describe actions/images clearly. So B could be correct.
• C: A structured poem with sequential stanzas (e.g., one per day part) can reveal a daily routine. So C could be correct.
• D: Symbols are not structure.
• E: Structure doesn't encourage reader to add to story; that's content openness.

But the question says "select two correct answers". Let's assume the intended answers are A and B (or A and C). Wait, maybe the correct answers are A and B. Wait, no, let's check again.

Wait, the problem is about the effect of the poem's structure. Let's take a typical poem structure:

• Structure (like a sonnet's form, free verse structure) can help the speaker identify the topic (A) by organizing the introduction.
• Structure can also help describe actions and images clearly (B) by using line breaks, stanza divisions to pace the description.

So the two correct answers are A and B.

Answer:

A. The speaker identifies the topic of the poem easily
B. The speaker describes actions and images clearly
