The Terminology You Are Assumed to Have
Captions available
The idea
The board assumes familiarity with basic literary terminology. The anchor's glossary supplies it: allegory, alliteration, assonance, ballad, blank verse, conceit, elegy, irony, metonymy, ode, paradox, sonnet, synecdoche and the rest. These are learned once and used throughout.
In practice
A finite list, learned once.
Where people slip
Basic does not mean optional.
