Please re-post after studying the linked websites above and reconsidering your answers. And when you repost, please post only your answers.
1.) The correct answer is A. Rhyme Scheme. Both Petrarchan and Shakespearean sonnets follow a specific rhyme scheme. Petrarchan sonnets typically have an octave (eight lines) with the rhyme scheme ABBAABBA, followed by a sestet (six lines) with various rhyme schemes such as CDCDCD or CDECDE. Shakespearean sonnets, on the other hand, have three quatrains (four lines) with the rhyme scheme ABABCDCDEFEF, followed by a couplet (two lines) with the rhyme scheme GG.
2.) The correct answer is C. To summarize the poet's message and offer a final commentary. In the English or Shakespearean sonnet, the couplet serves as a conclusion to the poem. It often provides a final thought, summary, or reflection on the themes or ideas expressed earlier in the poem.
3.) The correct answer is D. Rites of passage or coming of age. "The Merchant of Venice" explores themes such as justice, mercy, prejudice, greed, and the complexity of human relationships. Rites of passage or coming of age is not a prominent theme in this play.
4.) The correct answer is C. Slapstick. Shakespeare often used elements of comedy in his plays, including "The Merchant of Venice." However, slapstick, which involves exaggerated physical comedy and violence, is not a prominent element in this particular play.
5.) The correct answer is D. Act 5. In a Shakespearean play, the climax is typically found in Act 5, as it is the final act where conflicts reach their peak and the resolution of the play begins to unfold.
6.) The correct answer is A. Hyperbole, exaggerating the brightness of the sun. The given lines use hyperbole, an exaggerated statement or claim, to describe the brightness and setting of the sun.
7.) The correct answer is B. "Then these delights my mind might move/To live with thee and be thy love." This line from "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd" demonstrates the tone of the poem. It presents a more skeptical and practical viewpoint in response to the shepherd's idealistic and romantic promises.
