1. Answer: C. "Leda and the Swan" is composed of 14 lines as are all sonnets. However, after the 8th line, the thematic focus of the poem experiences a shift: While the first eight lines described the rape of Leda, the following six focus more on the consequences of the act. The poem is not an example of a Shakespearean sonnet, an epic, dramatic monologue, nor ballad.

2. Answer: A. The dark webs described in line 3 of "Leda and the Swan" are a literal depiction of the swan's dark webbed feet. When read in context, it is evident that the other answer choices are incorrect as they do not fit with "her thighs caressed by...". There is no mention of a tangle of thorns, the swan's shadow, Leda's confusion, nor the darkness in her future.

3. Answer: C. Enjambment, personification, and rhyme are all used in the poem "Leda and the Swan". However, simile is not. Enjambment and rhyme are seen most clearly in the first two stanzas of the poem and personification in the description of Leda's "terrified vague fingers" (line 3).

4. Answer: E. The correct answer is choice E because W.B. Yeats titled his poem in direct reference to the Greek myth in which Zeus takes on the form of a swan and rapes the mortal Leda. Though answer choice A is factually correct, it does not address the question. Answer choice B is also correct but it is not the primary purpose of the title. Answer choice C is incorrect as the swan does not symbolize innocence in this poem. Answer choice D is also incorrect because Leda does not transform into a swan in any myth.

5. Answer: A. The correct answer is choice A because the lines "the broken wall, the burning roof and tower" (line 9) are a direct reference to the burning of Troy during the Trojan War. Yeats assumes his audience has some knowledge of the Trojan War and the events preceding it in which Zeus rapes Leda who will give birth to Helen of Troy, who eventually becomes the cause of the Trojan War. Answer choices B and C are incorrect because, although Agmemnon's death is involved and Leda is impregnated, they are not the most comprehensive answer choices. D is incorrect as Agmemnon is not the name of Leda's child and E is incorrect because there is no suggestion of Leda's death in the last two stanzas.
