"The warm smell of fresh bread filled the room." This is rich in:

  1. Rhyme
  2. Irony
  3. Metre
  4. Imagery
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Imagery

1. Imagery is sensory language that evokes mental images or sense impressions. 2. "Warm smell of fresh bread" appeals to the senses of smell and warmth. 3. So the line is rich in imagery. **Why not the others:** Rhyme needs matching end sounds, irony needs a contrast with expectation, and metre is the rhythm of a line. _Source: Wikipedia, "Imagery", section "introduction" (revision 1378393556)_

A line repeated at the end of each stanza is a:

  1. Couplet
  2. Quatrain
  3. Metre
  4. Refrain
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Refrain

1. A refrain is a line or lines repeated in a poem or song. 2. It is like the chorus of a song. 3. A couplet and quatrain are groups of lines, not repeated lines. **Why not the others:** A couplet is two rhyming lines, a quatrain is a four-line stanza, and metre is rhythm. _Source: Wikipedia, "Refrain", section "introduction" (revision 1358992182)_

Correct answer: C. Stanza

1. A stanza is a group of lines within a poem. 2. It is usually set off from others by a blank line or indentation. 3.
