Respuesta :

The correct answer is B.

The Holy Sonnets, also known as the Divine Meditations, are a series of nineteen poems written by the English poet John Donne ( 1572-1631).

Most of the poems consisted of two four-line stanzas and a six-line stanza.

Most of John Donne's poems contain metaphysical conceits which places the author among the Metaphysical poets. They were a group of 17th century English poets whose work was characterized by the use of conceits.

Conceit means extended rhetorical device summed up in a short phrase. It refers to a situation that either does not exist or exists rarely, but it's needed for the plot.
