The statement that best describes the structure of "I Dwell in Possibility" is:
D. The poem uses different meters throughout its verses.
Explanation:
This is Emily Dickinson's poem "I Dwell in Possibility":
I dwell in Possibility –
A fairer House than Prose –
More numerous of Windows –
Superior – for Doors –
Of Chambers as the Cedars –
Impregnable of eye –
And for an everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky –
Of Visitors – the fairest –
For Occupation – This –
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise –
As we can see, the poem is divided into three sets of four lines, or three quatrains. Option B says it is divided into an octave and a sestet, which is incorrect. Option C says the poem contains 14 lines when, in fact, it contains 12. Those two options are eliminated. Now, we only need to choose between A and C. If we highlight the stressed syllables or words, we will find the meter:
I dwell in Possibility – (4 iambs)
A fairer House than Prose – (3 iambs)
We can now easily eliminate option A, which claims the whole poem is in iambic pentameter. It actually alternates between iambic tetrameter and iambic trimeter. Therefore, the correct option is letter D. the poem uses different meters throughout its verses.
