A blank verse is a type of writing that consists of...?

  1. Long and winding sentences.

  2. Short declarative statements.

  3. Stanzas with no rhyme scheme.

  4. Lines of none iambic pentameter.

The correct answer is: Lines of none iambic pentameter.

Blank verse is a type of writing that is characterized by unrhymed lines with a regular meter, specifically iambic pentameter. This means that each line consists of ten syllables, with emphasis placed on every second syllable, resulting in a natural flow to the writing. The other options are incorrect because A) though blank verse can have longer sentences, not all sentences have to be long and winding, B) it is not defined by short declarative statements, and C) it does not necessarily have stanzas or any specific structure. Therefore, the correct answer is D) lines of none iambic pentameter.
