Ответ:
All of Shakespeare's sonnets have this structure - three quatrains (a stanza of four lines), and a couplet (a stanza of two lines). The other options are common for all sonnets, but only Shakespeare's sonnets are a bit different when it comes to stanzas.
2. The correct answer is C) humorous and realistic.
The poet is talking about his loved one in a strange manner - he is describing her using unconventional words to express his love. He says that she is not beautiful, that she is actually quite the opposite of what a lady should look or behave like, but that he loves her nevertheless.
3. The correct answer is B) metaphor.
Metaphor is a figure of speech in which you compare two or more things, but without using comparative words such as 'like' or 'as.' So here, the poet is comparing his loved one's hair with wires, alluding to their similarities.
4. The correct answer is B) Some ducks, which were cute and fluffy, begged for food.
A is not correct because the way this sentence is written, it would seem that the table had a red-and-white checkered pattern, and not the cloth; C is incorrect because the way this sentence is written, it would seem the burner was boiling over, and not the sauce.
