Question 17 • English Language Arts 12

What effects can apostrophe have on a poem? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
It connects the reader to the speaker’s message.
B
It makes an imagined addressee feel present.
C
It enhances the rhyme scheme.
D
It gives the poem a detached effect.
E
It gives the speaker a voice.

Explanation

Apostrophe is a figure of speech in which the speaker directly addresses someone or something that is absent, imagined, or unable to respond. This can make the addressee feel present, give the speaker a more direct voice, and draw readers into the speaker’s message. It does not inherently enhance the rhyme scheme or make the poem detached.
