This question is based on General Literary Principles.

An inherent quality of the lyric is that it must

be sung to a musical instrument

be sung by the poet who composes it

express the poet's subjective emotions

be simple and successful.

Answer Details

The inherent quality of a lyric is that it must express the poet's subjective emotions. A lyric is a type of poem that is usually short and expresses personal emotions or feelings. It often has a musical quality and is meant to be sung, but it does not necessarily have to be accompanied by a musical instrument. The success of a lyric depends on its ability to convey the poet's emotions in a simple and effective way, but simplicity is not an inherent quality of a lyric. Therefore, the correct option is "express the poet's subjective emotions."
