PLLLZ HELP What is most likely the author’s reason for beginning the essay, Literary History: The Development of the Sonnet, in this manner?

The word sonnet comes from the Italian sonetto, meaning “a little sound or song.” For more than seven hundred years, poets have used these highly structured fourteen-line poems to explore such issues as the fleeting nature of love and profound questions of mortality.
During the 1300s, Italian poet Francesco Petrarch (1304-1374) popularized the sonnet. By the end of the sixteenth century, poets throughout much of Europe were writing sonnets. Many of the most recognizable poems in history were written in sonnet form. Romantic poet William Wordsworth wrote that the sonnet was the key with which “Shakespeare unlocked his heart.”

Question 1 options:

a) To impress the reader with how old and respected the sonnet form is.

b) To mention Wordsworth without saying whether or not he wrote sonnets.

c) To introduce the sonnet’s form and use, and supply the origin of the term.

d) To credit Petrarch with the perfection of the form.
