Which term is defined as a 14-line poem in iambic pentameter with a rhyme scheme commonly associated with Shakespeare?

Explanation:
This item tests recognizing a Shakespearean sonnet—the 14-line poem written in iambic pentameter with a rhyme scheme of ABAB CDCD EFEF GG, typically arranged in three quatrains plus a final rhyming couplet. The form is strongly associated with Shakespeare, who popularized this structure in English poetry. H aiku is a short nature poem in three lines with a 5-7-5 syllable pattern, not 14 lines. Petrarchan sonnets are also 14 lines but use an octave and a sestet with a different rhyme pattern (and are originally Italian). A limerick is a humorous five-line verse with an AABBA rhyme scheme, not 14 lines.
