Which of the following two poems are linked with each other in terms of form?
A) “The Last Ride Together”
B) “Ulysses”
C) “Upon Appleton House: To My Lord Fairfax”
D) “To Penshurst”
E) “The Waste Land”
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is C and D only.

Both “Upon Appleton House: To My Lord Fairfax” (C) by Andrew Marvell and “To Penshurst” (D) by Ben Jonson are famously linked in terms of form and genre as two of the most prominent examples of the 17th-century English country house poem.

This specific poetic form is characterized by the praise of a patron's country estate, utilizing descriptions of the estate's landscape, architecture, and agricultural abundance as symbols of the owner's moral virtue, social order, and traditional hospitality.
“To Penshurst” (published in 1616) is celebrated as the foundational model of the country house genre in English literature, while “Upon Appleton House” (written c. 1651) is a later, highly elaborate expansion of the same form that uses the Fairfax estate to reflect on personal retirement and the political state of England during the Civil War.

The other poems listed belong to entirely different forms and periods:
• “The Last Ride Together” (A) and “Ulysses” (B) are Victorian dramatic monologues.
• “The Waste Land” (E) is a 20th-century modernist poem written in free verse.
Therefore, the formal connection lies strictly between C and D.
