The correct answer here would be D. The epics are long narrative poems which tell grand tales of the legendary heroes and their lives. Pope’s R.ape of the Lock is a mock-epic. This is a type of a poem which represents a minor, maybe even a banal event as something from an epic or a legend. The line “Fear the just gods, and think of Scylla’s fate!” is really out of place in a poem about the theft of a lock of hair. The man infatuated by a woman without her permission cuts of a lock of her hair which leads to the animosity between two families.
