Read the text and answer the question:
In a short essay on translation, Noor Patel argues that accuracy is not the sole measure of a good version of a poem. She praises one translator for preserving the original's strict rhyme, even though several images become less precise, and she praises another for keeping the imagery vivid while abandoning rhyme entirely. Patel's central claim is that translators must decide which features carry the poem's emotional force for a particular audience. She warns that pretending every element can be carried over unchanged leads to stiff, lifeless lines.
