Which of the following is a true statement about reading poetry out loud? no punctuation in a line of poetry tells you to continue to the next line without pausing. a comma in a line of verse indicates that you come to a full stop. a colon indicates that you should increase the pace of your reading. you do not need to be concerned about the punctuation when reading a poem out loud.

The correct answer is B. A comma in a line or verse indicates that you come to a full stop

Explanation:

Poetry is a form of literature in which language is used to express feelings and ideas by using certain aesthetic devices of the language including rhythm, rhyme, and figures of speech. Additionally, poetry differs from other types of texts as it uses verses, which are the short lines or poetic unit with metric (specific number of syllables and rhythm) and these verses are set together to create stanzas that compose a poem.

Considering poetry differs from ordinary texts in multiple factors, the way these are read out loud is also different. One of the most important aspects are the pauses, as in regular texts pauses are only introduced by punctuation marks such as comma, semicolon or periods but in poetry after each verse the reader will need to make a short pause before reading the following verse and the use of a comma or semicolon introduces a longer pause, similar to that of a period in regular texts. Also, the pace when reading poetry is usually slow and should be in this way despite the punctuation marks and you should be aware of the rhyme and rhythm in the verses. Thus, it can be concluded the statement that is true about reading poetry out loud is that a comma in a line of verse indicates that you come to a full stop at the end of the verse introduces a short pause and by adding another punctuation mark this pause is increased creating a pause similar to the one of a full stop used in regular texts.
