What type of poem is written in narrative form often with a strong moral message?

  1. Epic

  2. Elegy

  3. Ode

  4. Fable

The correct answer is: Fable

Fable is the best choice for the question as it is a short tale written in narrative form, often to convey a moral lesson. Epic poems are typically long, heroic narratives, and do not always have a moral message. Elegies are poems that mourn the loss of someone or something and do not typically have a moral message. Odes are lyrical poems that focus on celebrating a person or object and do not typically have a strong moral message. Fable is the most suitable choice for a poem with a strong moral message written in narrative form.
