Question

which best describes the structure of the poem \safari day in kenya\?
○ fixed form with a strict rhyme scheme
○ fixed form with a loose meter
○ free verse with rhyming quatrains
○ free verse with varied line lengths

Explanation:

To determine the structure of "Safari Day in Kenya", we analyze each option:

• Fixed form with strict rhyme scheme: The poem doesn't follow a strict, traditional fixed form with a rigid rhyme scheme.
• Fixed form with loose meter: It isn't a fixed form (fixed forms like sonnets have set structures), so this is incorrect.
• Free verse with rhyming quatrains: The poem doesn't use quatrains (four - line stanzas) with consistent rhyming.
• Free verse with varied line lengths: "Safari Day in Kenya" is in free verse, which has no set meter or rhyme scheme, and it has lines of different lengths, matching this description.

Answer:

D. free verse with varied line lengths (assuming the options are labeled A - D as per typical multiple - choice, with the last option being D)
