question 4 of 10
which effect does enjambment often add to a poem?

a. the reader understands a vivid, detailed picture.

b. the reader feels propelled from one line to the next.

c. the reader senses completeness in each single thought.

d. the reader understands a familiar symbol in a new way.

Explanation:

Enjambment is a poetic technique where a sentence or phrase continues across line breaks without punctuation. This structure creates a forward momentum, pushing the reader smoothly from one line to the next to complete the thought, rather than pausing at the end of each line. Option A relates to imagery, C describes end-stopped lines, and D refers to recontextualized symbols, none of which are the core effect of enjambment.

Answer:

B. The reader feels propelled from one line to the next.
