question 7 of 10
which best explains what end - stopping is?
a. lines of poetry that do not end in punctuation
b. lines of poetry that end in some kind of punctuation
c. lines of poetry that end on a comma but not a period
d. lines of poetry that coincide with the ends of sentences

Explanation:

End-stopping in poetry refers to a line of verse that concludes with a punctuation mark (such as a period, comma, semicolon, or exclamation point) that creates a pause or full stop, matching the line's end to a grammatical break. Option A describes enjambment, while options C and D are too narrow (end-stopping does not require a comma specifically, nor does it need to align with a full sentence end).

Answer:

B. Lines of poetry that end in some kind of punctuation
