Question

Select the word that can be substituted for the given phrase.

Poetry that is silly

• A. sonnet
• B. doggerel
• C. dirge
• D. riddle

Answer 1

The correct option is B doggerel

Option B Ian the correct answer because “doggerel” means comic verse composed in irregular rhythm, hence it basically means poetry that is silly.!

Option A is incorrect because a sonnet is a serious poem of fourteen lines with any given rhythmic pattern.

Option C is incorrect because “dirge” means mournful song, piece of music, or sound, hence incorrect.

Option D is incorrect because a riddle is a question or statement intentionally phrased so as to require ingenuity in ascertaining its answer or meaning, hence it’s not a poem.
