Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

It is based on the form of a traditional English country song.

It was intended as a rhythmic refrain to be sung by groups of people in taverns.

Explanation:

Since it was a song and it followed the traditional country song that is known in English, you can see how it is not that weird to repeat a phrase. In fact, repeating phrases is not uncommon is song and it could even have a fun effect of people singing the chorus as choir  in a tavern, which was most likely the intent behind it.

Answer 2

The correct answer is the following: option b and option d. In the song "Revolutionary Tea" all of the stanzas end with a phrase that is repeated three times. This happens because the song is based on the form of a traditional English country song, 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 refrain to be sung by groups of people in taverns 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.
