Poe uses the same words at the beginning of each stanza
26, down is Verona.
5, across is Crutch
7, down is Couplet

The excerpt is a hook. It captures the readers focus and describes the argument of the paper.
I'm pretty sure it's B. The evidence <em>isn't</em> effective, so A and C are out. that leaves us with B and D, and in the 2nd choice the answer provides evidence from the text to defend its thesis.
