Which term refers to literature written in metrical verse?

Prose Literary genres Poetry Plays

Correct Answer:

Poetry

Explanation:

Literature written in metrical verse is poetry. Metrical verse follows a regular pattern of rhythm or meter and often includes rhyme, which gives poems their musical quality. Prose, in contrast, is written in sentences and paragraphs without a fixed beat. Plays are texts designed for performance, primarily dialogue and stage directions; while some plays feature verse, the form most closely tied to metrical rhythm is poetry.
