Answer 1

Epics and ballads are types of narrative poems

Answer 2

Answer: The statement about poetry that is true is "Epics and ballads are types of narrative poems".

Explanation: Epics and ballads are two types of narrative poems, that is to say poems that tell a story and; therefore, that have plots. Narrative poetry includes developed characters, actions, but it also features figurative language, which is mainly found in poems. Although both epics and ballads are types of narrative poems, there are some differences between them. The main difference between epics and ballads is their length: while epics are long poems, ballads are much shorter since they are made up of short stanzas and tend to focus on one event or situation.
