In what type of poetry are the lines of equal length?

Iambic Pentameter
Lyric
Blank Verse
Dramatic Monologue

The correct answer is: Blank Verse

Blank verse is a type of poetry that is written in lines of equal length but without a rhyme scheme. This distinguishes it from other forms of poetry, such as lyric which often has shorter lines and may have a rhyming structure. Iambic pentameter is a specific type of blank verse, characterized by lines with 10 syllables and a specific rhythm. Dramatic monologue is a type of poem that is spoken by a fictional or historical character, and while it may have lines of equal length, it is not a defining characteristic of this type of poetry.
