What type of poem is based on a person, place, thing, or idea?

Epic.
Narrative.
Eulogy.
Lyric.

The correct answer is: Lyric.

A lyric poem is a type of poem that expresses personal emotions or feelings about a subject or event. It is typically short and musical in nature, often using a specific rhyme scheme or meter. This type of poem focuses on the thoughts and feelings of the speaker and does not necessarily tell a story, making it different from narrative and epic poems which do have a storyline. Eulogies, while they may mention a person, are often given as speeches at funerals and focus on honoring and remembering the deceased rather than expressing personal emotions. Therefore, the correct answer is D Lyric.
