c for me...by POE ..
D says
Limericks constitute a non artistic type of poetry... The question does not say anything about limerick and poem .....
I am sure few guys who actually have the knowledge of what poetry and what limerick is may find this question a little complicated ....( not sure though )
but for me , I dont know the official definition of these so Picked C ...
A poem is any work of art that exploits some of the musical characteristics of language, such as meter, rhythm, euphony, and rhyme. A novel,
though it may be a work of art in language, does not usually exploit the musical characteristics of language. A symphony,
though it may be a work of art that exploits the musical characteristics of sounds, rarely involves language. A limerick,
though it may exploit some musical characteristics of language,
is not, strictly speaking, art.
The statements above, if true, most strongly support which one of the following?
A) If a creation is neither a poem, nor a novel, nor a symphony, then it is not a work of art
B) An example of so-called blank verse, which does not rhyme, is not really a poem
C) If a novel exploits meter and rhyme while standing as a work of art, then it is both a novel and a poem
D) Limericks constitute a non artistic type of poetry
E) If a symphony does not exploit the musical characteristics of sound, then it is not a work of art
Clearly D it is.
Explaination:
A sounds confident.
then it is not a work of art in A indicates that if a creation is neither a poem, nor a novel, nor a symphony, then it is definitely not a work of art, whereas the passage does not give a picture of certainty except for poem.
B is infering a little much. The argument is not concerned about blank verse.
C can never be true because the arggument has clearly stated that a poem is any work of art that exploits some of the musical characteristics(meter and rhyme) of language, whereas a novel does not
usually exploit the musical characteristics of language. This does not essentially mean that it is both a novel and a poem if a novel exploits meter and rhyme while standing as a work of art. In addition the argument is quite uncertain about a novel's existence as a work of art.
Just imagine how in the world cana novel be a poem a non artistic type of poetry in D is in line with -
limerick not, strictly speaking art- the argument.
As per the passage symphony
may be a work of art that exploits the musical characteristics of sounds, however not necessarily if it does not exploit the musical characteristics of sound, then
it is not a work of art. rule out E.
