Explanation:

1. Rhythm refers to the general pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in poetry.
2. Meter is the regular, measured pattern of those syllables.
3. Syntax describes the arrangement of language elements into sentences.
4. Diction is the specific word choice an author employs.
5. A line is a single string of words in a poem, not a full sentence/phrase.
