Question

structure of poetry quick check
what is a structural characteristic of a litany poem? (1 point)
○ the stanzas follow a set rhyme scheme, and all lines are iambic pentameter.
○ all stanzas have the same rhyme scheme.
○ many lines or stanzas begin with the same word or phrase.
○ the ending must be in the form of a couplet.

Explanation:

Litany poems are defined by repetitive structures, often featuring anaphora (repetition of a word/phrase at the start of lines/stanzas). The other options describe fixed rhyme schemes (not unique to litanies) or specific meter/couplet endings, which are not structural traits of litanies.

Answer:

Many lines or stanzas begin with the same word or phrase.
