I would say imagery, tone and rhyme. Having a "point" to your poem like a message is also important for it to be powerful.
The correct answer is plot. Theme is the work's main idea (the "why" of the work), and there usually are more themes in a single work. Narrator is the "I" of the story, someone who tells it. The setting is the "when and where" of the story, the time-place frame. The plot is the "what" - what happens.
Maleeka’s ability to love her dark skin and overcome her insecurities empowers her to stop accepting Charlese’s bullying. Maleeka also tells John-John that she didn’t avoid him in second grade because she wanted to sit next to Caleb, but rather because she had trouble seeing the board.
Answer:
skimming the passage, we’ll find “some critics” mentioned in the third sentence. Indeed, this sentence actually continues to advance Bigsby’s view mentioned in the previous sentence (that Hansberry’s work has “unintentional” irony” that the author seems to reject (stating that we should accept her irony as “deliberate social commentaries”). This third sentence continues to elaborate and broaden the critical view to other critics. The next sentence contains the words “for example,” so that must be the one, right?! Nope.

An important thing to keep in mind about the Reading Comprehension section of the GRE as we use PowerPrep online to study is that it is just that—reading comprehension. In other words, as difficult as it may seem, and it can be pretty tricky, the test makers will always give us all the information we need in the passage to answer the question. Select-in-passage questions, like number 8 on the second Verbal section of practice test 1, may look different than other questions, but they abide by the same rule.
Select-in-passage questions are unique to the GRE, but that shouldn’t scare us. In fact, a good thing about them is that we can approach each one the same way: we need to read the question carefully in order to find out what criteria our sentence needs to meet. Then, we need to search the passage for a sentence that fits that criteria—ok, admittedly this is sometimes more easily said than done, but we should keep in mind that our question may even give us extra clues as to where to look.
