Passage
GHOST: I have come for the lullaby. NURSE: We buried it with you. [The cradle rocks though no one touches it.]
Which answer best distinguishes the passage's genre by connecting form to significance in the treatment of the ghost at the nursery door?
A
The lineated account of characters moving through the ghost at the nursery door establishes narrative poetry; it asks readers to follow plot within poetic form.
B
The retrospective narrator's shaping of the ghost at the nursery door establishes prose fiction; it frames interpretation through memory, selection, and narrative distance.
C
The poem's apostrophe to the ghost at the nursery door establishes lyric poetry; it makes interpretation depend on the speaker's solitary act of address.
D
The speaker labels and stage direction for a visible supernatural action establishes drama by making the eerie event something to be staged before viewers.
