Answer: The right answer is the C) Using an innocent questioner and a wise respondent.
Explanation: It must be stressed that options B and D are wrong, since this ballad uses the verse format (with a <em>abcb </em>rhyme scheme) and its subject matter is definitely not a celebration, but a very tragical event - the death of a child in the bombing of a church in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1963. Ballads do feature a question-answer format, which helps to build up suspense and maintain the reader's interest and engagement. In this particular example, the innocent questioner is a small child, and the wise respondent is his mom, who attempts, to no avail, to dissuade him from attending the Freedom March.

He was telling the narrator about his mental state and about a condition he believes he possesses (extreme sensory acuteness, according to him). </u><u>However, once Usher begins to reveal that this condition of his is related to his sister's disease and death, he seems to go out of breath. He interrupts himself, adding details in a hurried way, which is represented by the phrases enclosed by the dashes. Therefore, we can say the author structures these sentence in this way to show Usher's shortness of breath and rushed speech.</u>
