Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP Prep Practice Exam

A quatrain is a four-line poem or stanza

1. True.

2. False.

3. A combination of true and false.

4. Depends on the author.

The correct answer is: True.

A quatrain is indeed a four-line poem or stanza. This means that any four-line poem or stanza can be considered a quatrain. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the definition of a quatrain. Option B is incorrect because it states that a quatrain is not a four-line poem or stanza, which directly contradicts the definition. Option C is also incorrect because it suggests that a quatrain only partially fits the definition, which is not the case. Option D is incorrect because a quatrain is not dependent on the author - it is always a four-line poem or stanza, regardless of who wrote it. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
