1. Answer: False.

In a dramatic monologue, the speaker represents a character (often imagined) in a particular situation, through the performance of the actions, words, gestures, etc. of the character in order to reveal aspects of him or her and convey an idea. The speaker does not describe their own experience, but a character's, and as it is a monologue, the person they are addressing will not respond.

2. Answer: The words of the speaker cannot be proven.

Very often, a dramatic monologue is used to convey an idea, a message, or appeal to people somehow, not to accurately represent an aspect of reality. Furthermore, the characters or situations may be exaggerated or even imagined.

3. Answer: It has fourteen lines and uses iambic pentameter.

Sonnets are small lyrics which has 14 lines and is written in iambic pentameter, that is to say, each line has 10 syllables that has a rhythmic pattern comprising five iambs in each line.

4. Answer: "are"

In the sentence, when two different nouns separated by "or" are different in number (Singular, plural), the verb must agree with the plural noun (In this case, "His sister" which is third person in the plural.) and "Are" belongs to the third person in plural. If both nouns, separated by "or", were singular, the verb that would follow would be "is".

5. Answer: "give"

"Gives" is only used for the third person singular. "Few of the cracked hockey masks" is in the plural, therefore the right option is "give"

6. Answer: "were"

"States", a noun an a subject in the sentence, is plural. More specifically, is in third person plural, therefore "were" is correct.
