Which is a type of lyric poetry?

  1. Epic

  2. Narrative

  3. Ode

  4. Drama

The correct answer is: Ode

Lyric poetry is a genre of poetry that expresses personal emotions or feelings. While epic, narrative, and drama all have elements of poetry, they are primarily focused on telling a story, rather than expressing emotions. Epic poetry tells the story of a hero or important event, narrative poetry tells a story in verse form, and drama uses dialogue to tell a story. Odes, on the other hand, are meant to be sung and are often used to express appreciation or praise for a person or thing. Therefore, odes are a type of lyric poetry.
