Stanza is defined as what?

• A. A single line of poetry
• B. A poem
• C. The rhythm
• D. A group of verses

Answer: (D)

A stanza is a group of verses that form a single unit within a poem, usually set off from other groups by a blank line. This grouping helps carry a single idea or mood across multiple lines, just like a paragraph holds a chunk of prose. So it’s not a single line, not the whole poem, and not the rhythm—the stanza is the collection of several lines treated as one section.
