-
B.
Black Verse
-
C.
Sonnet
-
D.
Haiku
Correct Answer:
B. Black Verse
Explanation:
The correct answer is Blank Verse. John Keats's unfinished epic poem Hyperion, written in the late 1810s, is composed in blank verse, which consists of unrhymed lines in iambic pentameter. Keats chose this form to emulate the grand, classical style of John Milton's Paradise Lost. Unlike a sonnet, which has a fixed fourteen-line structure, or a haiku, which is a brief three-line form, Hyperion uses the expansive and rhythmic nature of blank verse to tell its mythic story. Thus, Keat's 'Hyperion' is blank verse.
