Answer 1

b. a sense of the rhythm pattern

The question asks about the poem's structure.  It is important to remember that the structure of a poem refers to its rhyme scheme, stanzas, meter, and line breaks.  Thus, while the lines of the poem, yes, could be a description of a physical setting and even indicate the tone, setting and tone are not part of a poem's structure.  However, rhythm is considered part of the structure because it is the meter of the poem.  As such, the information we are given about the poem's structure is a sense of the rhythm pattern.
