Subtitle of Song of Solomon?

• A. The Quiet Courtship
• B. A Love Story
• C. The Wisdom of Love
• D. A Tale of Faith

Answer: (B)

The main idea this item tests is recognizing that Song of Solomon centers on a romantic relationship, told as a vivid love story between lovers. The book unfolds through intimate dialogue and lush imagery that celebrate attraction, longing, and joyful union within a loving partnership. That focus is why “A Love Story” fits best as its subtitle—it captures the essence of the work as a poetic celebration of love.

The other options don’t match as closely. A quiet courtship suggests only the early, reserved phase, but the book moves beyond that to express a full, passionate connection. The wisdom of love points toward a wisdom-literature angle, whereas this text is primarily framed as poetry about love rather than didactic wisdom. A tale of faith implies instruction about religious belief, which isn’t the primary aim of this book, even though some interpretive readings see allegorical meanings.
