When previewing the following lines from “one cannot ask loneliness….,” how often should readers plan to pause? on the cypress-mountain, autumn evening. a. once, after mountain b. once, after evening c. twice, after mountain and evening d. do not pause at all.

C. Twice, after mountain and evening.

Explanation:

When reading a poem, it is crucial to see where the punctuation is. And in this poem by Priest Jakuren, we find that there is a comma right after mountain (in the third line) and then a full-stop after evening (in the fourth line). For the comma, there should be a short pause while for the full-stop, it can be a long pause. So, overall, there should be a pause twice when reviewing the lines of the poem.
