Question

which best describes the structure of the poem \safari day in kenya\?
○ fixed form with a strict rhyme scheme
○ fixed form with a loose meter
○ free verse with rhyming quatrains
○ free verse with varied line lengths

Explanation:

To determine the structure of "Safari Day in Kenya", we analyze each option:

• Option A (fixed form with strict rhyme scheme): Fixed forms like sonnets have rigid rhyme and structure, which doesn't fit "Safari Day in Kenya" as it's free verse - like.
• Option B (fixed form with loose meter): Fixed forms imply set structures, and "loose meter" contradicts fixed form's rigidity.
• Option C (free verse with rhyming quatrains): Free verse typically has no set rhyme or meter, and quatrains (four - line stanzas) with rhyming would be more structured, not free verse.
• Option D (free verse with varied line lengths): "Safari Day in Kenya" is a free - verse poem. Free verse has no fixed rhyme scheme or meter, and it often has varied line lengths, which matches this option.

Answer:

D. free verse with varied line lengths
