General English

Answer questions 1–6 based on the following passage.

There are some qualities of a sonnet which make it

different from verse forms. Its definite restrictions

make it a challenge to the artistry of the poet and call
for all the technical skills at the poet’s command. The

more or less set rhyme patterns occurring regularly

within the short space of fourteen lines afford a

pleasant effect on the ear of the reader, and can create

truly musical effects. The rigidity of the form

precludes too great economy or too great prodigality of

words. Emphasis is placed on exactness and perfection

of expression. The brevity of form favours

concentrated expression of ideas or passion.
