Question 14 • CARE_24_25_TX-English IV B
Apostrophe is a direct address to someone or something absent, dead, or abstract. This technique gives the speaker a distinct voice and can draw readers into the speaker’s message. By addressing an imagined addressee directly, the poem can make that addressee feel present and give the poem a personalized effect. It does not create a detached effect, so C is incorrect.
