A. Epic poetry consists of one general form, whereas lyric poetry includes several specific forms, such as the sonnet.

Explanation:

An epic poem is the type of poetry that narrates the heroic deeds of a character(s). It is typically written in honor or praise of the character(s) and can be as long as a whole book. It also involves the presence of supernatural beings such as gods and monsters etc. Most common and famous epic poems are Homer's "The Illiad", John Milton's "Paradise Lost" and Dante's "Divine Comedy" among others.

On the other hand, a lyric poem is where the verses are short and has a musical tone to it. They are different types of lyric poems, such as the sonnets and expresses personal emotions and feelings while also using the first person narrative voice. Examples of lyric poems are William Shakespeare's "Sonnets", "I Felt A Funeral In My Brain" by Emily Dickenson etc.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Answer from: Quest

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have a basic subject+verb+object structure.

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
