Question 34 must be answered based on the following poem.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident
the art of losing’s not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

The genre poem is characterized by the use of rhythm, figurative language, and structural devices such as rhyme, refrain, and stanza organization, which together create a heightened aesthetic and emotional effect. By reading Elizabeth Bishop’s poem “One Art”, we can assume that
A
the speaker maintains a fully detached impersonal tone, presenting losses as abstract concepts rather than personal experiences.
B
the poem’s rhyme scheme is irregular, intentionally disrupting musicality to mirror the unpredictability of loss.
C
the refrain “The art of losing isn’t hard to master” appears only in the first and last stanzas, highlighting the contrast between trivial and significant losses.
D
the speaker avoids cumulative progression, presenting losses randomly without increasing emotional significance.
E
the poem is structured as a villanelle, using repeated refrains and a fixed rhyme pattern to emphasize the persistence and inevitability of loss.
