Explanation:

First Question

A dramatic monologue is a poem in which a single speaker (not the poet) addresses a silent listener, revealing their inner thoughts and feelings. Option a fits this. Option b: Dramatic monologues don't require a consistent rhyme scheme. Option c: Setting description isn't a key component. Option d: They present one viewpoint (the speaker's), not multiple.

Dramatic monologues focus on revealing the speaker's inner psyche. Option a: Hobbies aren't the focus. Option b: Financial status isn't central. Option c: Physical appearance isn't the main reveal. Option d: Inner thoughts and emotions are what's disclosed.

"My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning is a classic dramatic monologue. "The Raven" is by Edgar Allan Poe, "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats, and "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot.

Answer:

a. Revelation of the speaker’s inner thoughts and feelings
