All sonnets include a specific number of lines. How many lines are in an English sonnet?

  1. 10

  2. 12

  3. 14

  4. 16

The correct answer is: 14

English sonnets, also known as Shakespearean sonnets, are composed of 14 lines. Sonnets with 10 or 16 lines are common in other languages, such as Italian and Occitan, but in English literature, sonnets typically follow the structure of 14 lines. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect.
