The National Basketball Association (NBA) tried something new in 2006.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) tried something new in 2006. It started using synthetic basketballs instead of leather basketballs. Leather basketballs are not all exactly the same. They range in their weight and the way they bounce. Synthetic balls, though, could be made so each ball weighed and bounced exactly the same. However, players complained that the synthetic balls were slippery when wet, too sticky when dry, and the material left tiny, painful cuts on their hands similar to paper cuts. After six months, the NBA returned to using leather basketballs. The players were _________ with the synthetic balls. A. obsessed B. bombarded C. impressed D. displeased

Question
Which are traits of a fixed verse poem? Check all that apply. a set number of lines per stanza no fixed rhythm lines similar in length no pattern for stressing syllables a clear rhyme scheme
Solution 1

A set number of lines per stanza, lines similar in length, a clear rhyme scheme are the traits of a fixed verse poem. The correct options are A, C, and E.

What is fixed verse poem?

The poems with a predetermined number of lines, rhyme schemes, and/or metrical arrangements.

The iambic and trochaic forms, wherein each line was made up of defined patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables, called foot, and a fixed line length, were two of the most widely used types.

Fixed verse structures serve as a kind of framework or pattern for writing poetry. Free verse poetry, which by design has few or no pre-established rules, is the reverse of fixed verse.

When writing poetry, a poet's options are both guided and constrained by the many poetic forms, such as metre, rhyme scheme, and stanzas.

A fixed verse poem has a predetermined number of lines per stanza, lines that are roughly the same length, and a distinct rhyme system.

Thus, the correct options are A, C, and E.
