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.
The sentence in which the pronoun and the antecedent are not in agreement is option C. If the bus is late, he will be late to class. In the first clause, the subject of the sentence is the word "bus", and in the next clause, the subject changed to "he" and the pronoun he does not clearly state its antecedent.
A slimy blue thing was in my room.
I grabbed my cat, and looked down at my mat. It was so hard to sleep, so I got up and treaded on my feet. The creature was odd looking. It looked like a pile of pigs mud, but even more gooey and liquidized. This was the weirdest thing I have ever seen in my life. Then, my cat splashed the monster, so I went and reached to turn on my light. I felt silly for having a fright, for it was just my slime that my cat spilled water that made me feel grime.
