How can literary and auditory aspects differ in poetry and song?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Poetry can be word based and song is presented through words with sound
The governing concept is that poetry and song may share language, imagery, rhythm, and literary expression, but their modes of presentation can differ. A poem may be read silently or aloud, with its meaning carried mainly by words, structure, and imagery. A song usually combines lyrics with melody, rhythm, voice, and sometimes instruments, so its auditory dimension is more explicit. Therefore, option A is correct. Options B and C deny the verbal nature of both forms, while option D contradicts the basic purpose of a song. The distinction is not absolute, because poems may be performed and songs also contain literary language.
