Question

Which of the following is not a strategy for reading poetry? A. envisioning the action B. reading the poem out loud C. identifying the speaker D. stopping at the end of each line

Answer 1

I'd say D :) you should always envision whats going on, Many people find reading poems out loud to be helpful, and Identifying the speaker is very helpful to understand the poem. 

Answer 2

Answer:

D. stopping at the end of each line.

Explanation:

Reading poetry, like reading in general, especially literature or other forms of written artistic forms, is a very subjective process that can be improved by various reading strategies. Specifically, when reading poetry all of the strategies above are helpful except for the one that encourages you to stop at the end of each line. This is the case because a poet may or may not encapsulate an idea or image in a single line, often actually developing the idea or image in more than one line. For that purpose, stopping at the end of each line would only make the reading more fragmented which could cause you to lose sight of the meaning and sense that the poem is developing.
