A ballad is a type of poem that tells a story and was traditionally set to music. English language ballads are typically composed of four-line stanzas that follow an ABCB rhyme scheme. ... The last line of each stanza is a refrain
The correct answer is A. Indeed, the history behind this story tells us the correct answer. The story is based on Crane's own experience. Therefore, all the answers contain the phrase <em>omniscient narrator </em>and the author gives a hint for the upcoming surprises which is a foreshadowing.
C. podium because a podium is an OBJECT and NOT an adjective. ;-)
I hope I helped! =D
