Walt Whitman’s "Song of Myself"

Question 1 • FL-1001370-English 3 A

What makes “Song of Myself” free verse?

Answer
A
It was given away at no charge.
B
It is influenced by older epic poetry.
C
It is unrhymed but follows European meter.
D
It follows no set meter or rhyme.

Explanation

Free verse is poetry that does not follow a regular, predetermined meter or rhyme scheme. “Song of Myself” uses varied rhythms and line lengths rather than a consistent metrical pattern, and it does not rely on regular end rhymes. Therefore, the correct choice is “It follows no set meter or rhyme.”
