Most speakers and audience members would agree that an organized speech is both easier to present as well as more persuasive. Public speaking teachers especially believe in the power of organizing your speech, which is why they encourage (and often require) that you create an outline for your speech. Outlines<span>, or textual arrangements of all the various elements of a speech, are a very common way of organizing a speech before it is delivered. </span>
D) supernatural forces, such as gods or monsters, that intervene
On the excerpt the narrator is describing Lugalbanda as a personal God who will help the hero with his mission. Epic poetry is known for the use of supernatural elements (like Gods, monsters, dragons and so on) that a worthy hero should stand against or help.
The poem has an abcb rhyme scheme.
Each stanza is a quatrain.
The poem contains two stanzas.
These three statements are correct. The poem has an abcb rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme is determined by the last words of each line. The first line of the stanza is labeled a. The second line ending with shore does not rhyme with pass so it is labeled b. Stretched does not rhyme with either of the two preceding lines so it is labeled c. The last line of the stanza, more, rhymes with shore. It must be labeled b just like the second line. This results in the abcb rhyme scheme. It is the same in the second stanza. A quatrain is a stanza with four lines. Each of the two stanzas is made up of four lines so they are both quatrains.
