Question

in sus view, which best expresses the relationship between writing novels and writing poetry?
a. unlike poetry, novels must be based on ones heritage, making it harder for writers born in america to write novels.

b. unlike poetry, novels must be grounded in experience, making it harder for young writers to write novels.

c. unlike novels, poetry does not require narrative, making it easier to express personal truths in poetry.

d. unlike novels, poetry does not require structure, making it easier to share ideas in poetry.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: There's no indication novels must be based on heritage or that American - born writers find novels harder. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Novels often need experiential grounding, and young writers (with less experience) may find novels harder than poetry (which can be more abstract/less experience - dependent). This is a plausible view.
• Option C: Poetry can have narrative (e.g., narrative poetry), so the claim that poetry “does not require narrative” is incorrect. Eliminate C.
• Option D: Poetry has structure (e.g., rhyme schemes, meter in traditional poetry; or structural elements in free verse). The claim that poetry “does not require structure” is wrong. Eliminate D.

Answer:

B. Unlike poetry, novels must be grounded in experience, making it harder for young writers to write novels.
