Question

What is an elegiac broadside?

Answer 1

The correct answer is plaintive ballad and mourning.

Elegiac broadside itself is a type of ballad which has a plaintive feel and which is mournful.

It is a poetry which tells the story of a life which is being lost. An elegiac broadside is being got from mournful feeling of a poetry.

If a story is being taught like a ballad, it is being recited for a person who has died.

The broadside is the paper which contains the announcements, the public information and the elegies.

A famous example of an elegiac broadside is the elegy.

Answer 2

An elegiac broadside is A MOURNFUL, PLAINTIVE BALLAD

An elegy is a poem of lamentation to mourn the loss of something or someone. And broadside can mean a verbal attack. So the definition, a mournful, plaintive ballad fits best here.
