The answer is D, a connotation.
I'm not quite sure if this is correct but I know " Visual Hierarchy " means how the arrangement is perceived through the viewers perspective? I'm sorry I hope this was somewhat helpful :(
The structure of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Bells" is nowhere near a cinquain or Shakespearean sonnet, since those poetic forms have 5 and 14 lines respectively, while "The Bells" is much longer. The fact that it does not follow a strict verse form makes one think of free verse, but the correct answer is B. "The Bells" is a lyric poem, made up of stanzas and using constant rhyme, which one does not find very often in free verse. Not for nothing was it adapted musically by Sergei Rachmaninoff.
