Question

Which poetic elements help performers memorize an epic poem? Check all that apply.

rhyme
description
lists of events
rhythm
repetition

Answer 1

uhm ok so as we can eliminate list of events because it doesn't necessarily help you to remember things. if there are a lot of events, it could even confuse the speaker.

now when someone rhymes words like in "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" does that make it easier for you to remember the words?

Answer 2

next, description.

when giving lots of details about something, it could be hard to remember everything so I think we can eliminate this as well.

now rhythm and repetition kind of go together because rhythm is the repetition of sound patterns like what we see in music and poems. Repetition is similar to rhyme because it is the repeating of a word or phrase already in the poem.

so in this case, both of these would help you enhance your memorization of a speech.

this means your answer is....?
