Question

question 8 of 10
which is true about line breaks?
a. they are controlled by publishing conventions.
b. they are used mainly to highlight single images.
c. they may be determined by rhythm or meter.
d. they are seldom revised after the first draft.

Explanation:

Line breaks in poetry are often chosen to align with the work's rhythm, meter, or to emphasize phrasing. Option A is incorrect because line breaks (especially in creative writing like poetry) are not solely controlled by publishing conventions. Option B is wrong as line breaks serve broader structural and rhythmic purposes, not just highlighting single images. Option D is false because line breaks are frequently revised during the drafting process to refine flow and meaning.

Answer:

C. They may be determined by rhythm or meter.
