A Procedure for Structure Questions

The idea

Mark the stanza divisions, look for a conjunction or tense change at each opening, note any repeated word, then say in one sentence what changed and where. Four steps, all mechanical, and the one-sentence summary is what the options are then compared against.

In practice

Divisions, markers, repetitions, summary.

Where people slip

Summarise before reading the options.
