the sleeping fields."

    Assonance
  3. C
    Oxymoron
  4. D
    Metaphor

Cevap

Enjambment
The correct answer is Enjambment because the second line ends with the preposition 'across' without terminal punctuation, causing the grammatical unit to spill over into the third line.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Examine the punctuation at the end of the second line of the poem.
The second line ends with the preposition "across" with no comma, period, or other terminal punctuation.
Identifying punctuation at line endings reveals whether a line is end-stopped or run-on.
2
Identify the literary syntactic term for continuing a sentence across a line boundary.
The continuation of sentence structure across line breaks without pausing is termed enjambment.
Enjambment specifically describes lines that run over into the next line to complete their grammatical meaning.
