Answer: The excerpt from "The Spirit of Poetry" matches with blank verse, the excerpt from "A Dream" matches with enjambment and the excerpt from "A Shadow" matches with iambic pentameter.
Explanation: The excerpt taken from <u>"The Spirit of Poetry" by Longfellow </u>is representative of <u>blank verse because</u> <u>it is made up of verse without rhyme</u>. Each of its lines contains ten syllables, of which five are stressed but do not rhyme. Moreover,<u> "A Dream"</u> by Edgar Allan Poe matches with the poetic style known as <u>enjambment</u> because <u>its phrases do not come to an end at the line break.</u> In other words, there is no punctuation mark at the end of the lines that make up this excerpt. Finally, <u>"A Shadow" </u>by Longfellow is representative of the<u> iambic pentameter because each of its line is made up of five feet. </u>Moreover, each of these feet is composed of two syllables: an unstressed one followed by a stressed one.
