Question

Shakespeare shortened some words in his sonnets such as “featur’d” and “remember’d” in order to do what?

Answer:

C. Fit the meter

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer that makes the most sense is "fit the meter"

Shakespeare's sonnets are written predominantly in a meter called iambic pentameter, a rhyme scheme in which each sonnet line consists of ten syllables. The syllables are divided into five pairs called iambs or iambic feet. An iamb is a metrical unit made up of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable, so it makes sense that he would want his sonnets to fit and sound good read aloud.
