Question
what is caesura? (1 point)
○ when a line break occurs in the middle of a sentence or phrase in a poem
○ when a pause occurs in the middle of poetic line
○ when words are used in a way that differs from their dictionary definitions
○ when several words in a short section contain the same consonant sound
Caesura is defined as a deliberate pause in the middle of a line of poetry, which can be marked by punctuation or a natural rhythm break. The first option refers to enjambment, the third to figurative language/non-literal usage, and the fourth to alliteration—so the second option correctly describes caesura.
