Question

read mireilles rebuttal to the counterclaim that bob dylans lyrics cannot be considered literature. although it is true that bob dylan is primarily a songwriter, i consider his lyrics to be just as good as any poetry. mireilles teacher has asked her to revise the underlined clause to make it logical and objective. which is the best revision? many people find his lyrics very moving dylan has also written poetry and traditional prose his lyrics use poetic devices such as allusion and metaphor a lot of people consider his lyrics to be just as good as any poetry

Explanation:

To be logical and objective, the revision should present a factual, evidence - based reason for why Bob Dylan's lyrics can be considered literature.

• Option 1: "many people find his lyrics very moving" is a subjective opinion about the emotional impact of the lyrics, not an objective reason related to literary merit.
• Option 2: "Dylan has also written poetry and traditional prose" is about his other writings, not about why his lyrics are literature.
• Option 3: "his lyrics use poetic devices such as allusion and metaphor" provides an objective, literary - related reason (use of poetic devices is a characteristic of poetry/literature) to support that his lyrics can be considered literature.
• Option 4: "a lot of people consider his lyrics to be just as good as any poetry" is still a subjective opinion based on people's views, not an objective criterion.

Answer:

his lyrics use poetic devices such as allusion and metaphor
