This question is missing the answer options. I have found the complete question online. It is the following:
Which poetic techniques are illustrated in the opening lines “I am fourteen/and my skin has betrayed me/the boy I cannot live without/still sucks his thumb/in secret”?
A. alliteration and metaphor
B. allusion and alliteration
C. apostrophe and simile
D. personification and enjambment
Answer:
The poetic techniques illustrated in the lines are:
D. personification and enjambment
Explanation:
Personification is a literary device in which human actions and characteristics are attributed to inanimate objects. We have personification in lines of the poem we are analyzing here, in "my skin has betrayed me." Of course, there is no way for someone's skin to "betray" anyone. Skin is not a sentient being. This is just a way the author has found of implying something else, with a deeper meaning.
Enjambment happens when a sentence does not end with the line, but keeps on going into the next one. That is what we have in "the boy I cannot live without/still sucks his thumb/in secret," where one sentence is spread across three lines.
Answer:
"Here's a quick and simple definition: Formal verse is the name given to rhymed poetry that uses a strict meter (a regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables). ... Formal verse is distinct from blank verse (poetry with meter but no rhyme) and free verse (poetry without meter or rhyme)."
By this, the answer it false. Too add, the easier form of poetry is Acrostic.

Could you put the text or source so I can cite it...
The best answer among all these choice would be, i believe A and C. A and C seem the best because they make the most sense
A: <span>He believed that we have no way of knowing what God’s intentions are.
^ this answer makes sense because its true becaue no one in thge world has no idea of what ¨god¨ will do next
C: </span><span>He believed people would be rewarded or punished by God in the afterlife for their deeds in this life.
</span>^ this answer makes the most sense because it maybe true because what you do on earth can possibly effect you in the afterlife because what you do now will follow you through out life.
(i put " ¨ around the word god because i have no belief in him so.. ya )
