Question

In which two ways does the use of punctuation stand out in Emily Dickinson's poems?



A.She doesn't use commas.



B.She capitalizes common nouns.



C.She regularly uses the dash.



D.She ends every line with a period.



E.She inserts colons in each stanza.

MUST PICK 2 ANSWERS

Answer 1

I think B and D because when I looked at her poems she ended very line with a period and capitalized her common nouns

Answer 2

The correct answer is B and C.

"Dickinson most often punctuated her poems with dashes, rather than the more expected array of periods, commas, and other punctuation marks. She also capitalized interior words, not just words at the beginning of a line.

Both the use of dashes and the use of capitals to stress and personify common nouns were condoned by the grammar text."
