CAT Question of the Day Poetry primarily is governed by idiosyncratic forms and conventions to suggest differential interpretation to words, or to evoke emotive responses. Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects. The use of ambiguity, symbolism, irony, and other stylistic elements of poetic diction often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations. Similarly, metaphor, simile, and metonymy create a resonance between otherwise disparate images—a layering of meanings, forming connections previously not perceived. Kindred forms of resonance may exist, between individual verses, in their patterns of rhyme or rhythm.
According to the passage, which of the following isn't correct?
| OPTIONS | | |  | 1) | Poetry has numerous devices that are used to achieve the effects desired by the poet. | | | 2) | Irony is a stylistic element that makes it possible for the poem to have many meanings. | | | 3) | Two different images are connected in a poem by the use of metaphor and simile. | | | 4) | Rhythm is used in a poem to create disparate forms of resonance. | | | 5) | Idiosyncratic forms and conventions create poetry that evokes emotive responses. |

What is the expected fraction of students that get a passing grade?
| OPTIONS | | | | | 1) | 456/2009 | | | 2) | 1553/2009 | | | 3) | 259/335 | | | 4) | None |
