In the song "Revolutionary Tea," why do all of the stanzas end with a phrase repeated three times? Select all that apply.
tamaranim1 [39]

The correct answer is the following:<em> option b and option d</em>. In the song "Revolutionary Tea" all of the stanzas end with a phrase that is repeated three times. This happens because the song is <em>based on the form of a traditional English country song</em>, which follows a poetic style of writing, in which repetition is used to enhance the lyricism and therefore create more enthusiasm to the writing. It was also used as a rhythmic r<em>efrain to be sung by groups of people in taverns </em>during those times, so if the song had a good repetition through it, it ensured that it would rhyme and that groups of people in taverns or bar would be more inclined to sing them together.
