When my sisters and I cared too much about our appearance, my mother would tell us how Trujillo's vanity knew no bounds. How in

order to appear taller, his shoes were specially made abroad with built-in heels that added inches to his height. How plumes for his Napoleonic hats were purchased in Paris and shipped in vacuum-packed boxes to the Island. How his uniforms were trimmed with tassels and gold epaulettes and red sashes, pinned with his medals, crisscrossing his chest. How he costumed himself in dress uniforms and ceremonial hats and white gloves—all of this in a tropical country where men wore guayaberas in lieu of suit jackets, short-sleeved shirts worn untucked so the body could be ventilated. My mother could go on and on. –“A Genetics of Justice,” Julia Alvarez Which quotation from the passage supports the central idea that Trujillo worried about his appearance? “built-in heels that added inches to his height” “I cared too much about . . . appearance” “short-sleeved shirts worn untucked” “My mother could go on and on”

Answer:

  • "In Memorium" is written in a quatrain
  • "Nothing Gold Can Stay" is written in an octave
  • "Hero and Leander" is written in couplets

Explanation:

A sestet is a stanza composed of six lines, a quatrain of four lines, an octave is written in eight lines, and a couplet is a set of two rhyming lines, usually written in the same meter.

It is important to note that the definitions of all these types of stanzas have varied with different works and origins and some can further be classified into various sub-types depending on their position in the poem, meter, use, etc., and can be further elaborated with typical rhyme schemes that they use; however, the common aspect that they share is the number of lines, which is what the question is based on.
