1. The lines "If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved" are an example of a couplet. We can determine this by looking at the rhyme scheme of the lines. A couplet is a pair of rhymed lines, and in this case, the last words of both lines, "proved" and "loved," rhyme with each other.

2. The line "I wandered lonely as a cloud" is an example of a simile. In a simile, two unlike things are compared using "like" or "as." In this line, the speaker is comparing their state of wandering to that of a cloud, using the word "as" to make the comparison.

3. In "Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?" Shakespeare claims that the object of his sonnet will be immortal because she'll live on in his poem. The line "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee" suggests that as long as people are alive to read the poem, the woman's beauty and memory will continue to exist.

4. The sentence "I am a rock" is an example of a metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares two things without using "like" or "as." In this case, the speaker is comparing themselves to a rock to convey feelings of strength and solidity.

5. The way Cowley uses the phrase "my own country" is an example of personification. Personification is a figure of speech in which human qualities are attributed to non-human entities. In this case, "my own country" is being personified as if it were a person to emphasize the speaker's emotional connection to their homeland.

6. The phrase "mid-May" is an example of alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of initial sounds in adjacent or nearby words. In this case, the "m" sound is repeated in both words, "mid" and "May."

7. During the Romantic period, poets placed an emphasis on nature. The Romantic movement in literature and art celebrated individualism, emotion, and a connection with nature. Poets of this period often sought inspiration from the natural world and used it as a source of spiritual and emotional renewal.

8. The word "JoAnne" is an iamb. An iamb is a metrical foot consisting of two syllables, with the first syllable being unstressed and the second syllable being stressed. In the word "JoAnne," the stress falls on the second syllable, "Anne."

9. The line "A tree whose hungry mouth is prest" is an example of iambic tetrameter. Iambic tetrameter is a metrical pattern in poetry consisting of four iambs per line. An iamb is a metrical foot consisting of two syllables, with the first syllable being unstressed and the second syllable being stressed. In this line, there are four iambs: "A tree" (unstressed, stressed), "whose hungry" (unstressed, stressed), "mouth is" (unstressed, stressed), "prest" (unstressed, stressed).

10. The most probable reason that rhyme and repetition first found their way into poems is that they made the poems easier to remember and pass on. Before widespread literacy, poetry was often passed down orally through generations. Rhyme and repetition aided in memorization and made the poems more memorable. Additionally, rhyme and repetition can create a pleasing rhythm and musicality in a poem.

11. The poem that uses the words "floats, fluttering, and dancing" is "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud." The lines that contain these words are: "I wandered lonely as a cloud / That floats on high o'er vales and hills, / When all at once I saw a crowd, / A host, of golden daffodils" (Wordsworth).

12. Emphasizing the importance of order, law, discipline, and tradition is typical of Classical literature. Classical literature refers to the literature of ancient Greece and Rome, which valued reason, logic, and the achievements of human civilization. It often focused on themes of honor, duty, and adherence to established norms and rules.

13. The phrase "River birch and upland beech" is an example of consonance. Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds in nearby words. In this phrase, the "r" and "b" sounds are repeated in both words, "river" and "birch."

14. The poem with the rhyme scheme AA BB CC... is "The Long Voyage." The poem follows a consistent rhyming pattern where each pair of lines rhymes with each other, forming a sequence of couplets.

15. "Let Me Not to the Marriage of True Minds" is an example of a sonnet, specifically a Shakespearean or Elizabethan sonnet. Sonnets are a form of poetry that typically have 14 lines and a specific rhyme scheme. In this sonnet, the speaker explores the nature of love and its enduring qualities.

16. The phrase "Foam brightens like the dogwood now" is an example of a simile. In a simile, two unlike things are compared using "like" or "as." In this case, the speaker is comparing the brightening of foam to the appearance of dogwood, using the word "like" to make the comparison.

17. The rhyme scheme of Shakespeare's sonnets is ABAB CDCD EFEF GG. Each letter represents a different rhyme sound. The sonnets consist of three quatrains (four-line stanzas) and a final couplet. Each quatrain follows an ABAB rhyme scheme, and the couplet has a GG rhyme scheme. This rhyme scheme helps create a sense of structure and pattern in the sonnets.

18. In the poem "Trees," the "fools" mentioned refer to poets. The line "Fools! I am the poet of reality" suggests that the speaker views themselves as the true poet, while others who focus on less tangible or grounded subjects are seen as fools.

19. The repeated use of the "o" sound in "A host, of golden daffodils" is called assonance. Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in nearby words. In this case, the "o" sound is repeated in both "of" and "golden."

20. A definition of formal poetry is verse that sticks to certain traditional patterns. Formal poetry often adheres to specific rules and structures, such as strict meter, rhyme scheme, and specific stanza forms. This distinguishes it from free verse, which does not follow these strict patterns.
