Which of the following correctly defines blank verse?

A. poetry with no structure or rhyme
B. a type of long poem often used for plays
C. a type of rhymed poetry Shakespeare uses throughout his plays
D. unrhymed verse written in iambic pentameter

D?

But the definition of black verse google says is : verse without rhyme, especially that which uses iambic pentameters.

Oh, blank verse -- yes, D. I was thinking of free verse (which is A).

Correct! The answer is D. Blank verse is unrhymed verse written in iambic pentameter. It is often used in poetry, plays, and dramatic monologues. To determine the correct answer, you can break down the options and analyze them. In this case, we can eliminate options A and C because blank verse does have structure (iambic pentameter) and it is not always rhymed. Option B is incorrect because although blank verse is used in plays, it is not exclusively for plays. Therefore, option D is the correct answer as it accurately defines blank verse.

No
