I have Answered all of the following questions: each question carry 2 marks

Question a 

Define sonnet. What are the differences between Shakespearean and Petrarchan sonnets?

Answer is 

the sonnet is a fourteen-line poem written in iambic pentameter, 

The major differences between Petrarchan and Shakespearean sonnets are the structure and rhyme scheme. Petrarchan sonnets, named after 13th Century Italian poet Petrarch, consist of fourteen lines grouped in two major sections: first, an "octave" of eight lines, followed by a "sestet" of six lines. The octave is written in the rhyme scheme ABBAABBA, while the sestet is written in the rhyme scheme CDECDE.

The Shakespearean sonnet, like the Petrarchan sonnet, is written in fourteen lines. However, its lines are broken up into three "quatrains" (i.e. groups of four lines), followed by a two-line "couplet" at the end. The three quatrains will usually follow the rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF, while the couplet at the end will follow the rhyme scheme GG.
