What type of works are Shakespeare's sonnets?

Dramas
Adaptations
Poems
Prose

The correct answer is: Poems

Shakespeare's sonnets are a collection of 154 poems, written in the form of fourteen lines and following a specific rhyme scheme. While Shakespeare is best known for his plays, such as dramas and comedies, his sonnets are considered a separate body of work and fall under the category of poetry. They are not adaptations of his plays which are written in prose, nor are they written in the form of a drama. So, the correct answer is C.
