Read the following poem: Roses are red, while violets are blue, but neither are purple. which word best describes the first two line endings of this poem?

A. end-stopped

B. Iambic

C. Enjambed

D. Blank

The answer is: A. end-stopped.

In poetry, an end-stopped line is when the end a line coincides with the end of a sentence, clause or phrase, so that each line makes sense and there is a pause by the end of it.

The rest of the choice sare incorrect because the lines are not iambic or blank (there are no unstressed syllables followed by stressed ones) and they are not enjambed because the phrases, sentences or clauses do not continue on the line below.
