The concept of “prose” refers to which of the following?
A
Ordinary speech
B
Blank verse
C
Rhyming verse
D
Non-English word use
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In writing, prose refers to any written work that follows a basic grammatical structure (think words and phrases arranged into sentences and paragraphs). This stands out from works of poetry, which follow a metrical structure (think lines and stanzas).

Detailed explanation-2: -Prose combines multiple elements of oral interpretation of literature. Prose corresponds to usual patterns of speech–that which you would nd most every day in a particular space and time (in contrast to poetic form and language).

Detailed explanation-3: -Prose includes pieces of writing like novels, short stories, novellas, and scripts. These kinds of writing contain the kind of ordinary language heard in everyday speech.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prose is so-called “ordinary writing”-made up of sentences and paragraphs, without any metrical (or rhyming) structure. If you write, “I walked about all alone over the hillsides, ” that’s prose. If you say, “I wondered lonely as a cloud/that floats on high o’er vales and hills” that’s poetry.
