Trap: Naming a Metre From One Line
Captions available
The idea
One irregular line does not rename a poem, and one regular line does not establish a pattern. Options may name a metre that fits the quoted line while the poem runs otherwise. Read what the question asks about: the line, or the poem.
In practice
Check whether the line or the poem is asked.
Where people slip
One line establishes nothing.
