I think the answer is c but I could be wrong!!
I would just explain to them how poetry is a way of writing in order to capture physical and emotional details unable to be written in factual writing. Hope this helps :-)
Although the Cunninghams are poor, they are viewed as very honest and prideful people. For example, we see this prideful side of them when Scout explains that the Cunninghams don't take charity in any shape or form and find their own way to do things(i.e pay Atticus using vegetables, nuts, etc).
A. since they explain or tell something that happened.
on the other hand, it could be D since it depends on the style of how the news story was presented. I would stick with A.
