Explanation:

First Question: How does free verse differ from other forms?

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the definition of free verse. Free verse is known for its lack of formal structure, meter, and rhyme scheme rules. Option a states this. Option b is incorrect as free verse does not use complex rhyme/meter patterns. Option c is wrong because free verse does not require specific literary element arrangements. Option d is incorrect as free verse doesn't focus on metaphorical systems for differentiation.

Free verse's main characteristic is its departure from fixed rules (structure, meter, rhyme). Option a is wrong (free verse doesn't follow strict patterns). Option b is incorrect (no fixed line count like 19). Option c correctly states it doesn't follow fixed rules. Option d is wrong (free verse doesn't require only rhyming words).

The theme in poetry is the central message or lesson. Option a refers to subject matter (different from theme). Option b is the correct definition of theme. Option c refers to symbolism relationships (not theme). Option d refers to structural/stylistic elements (not theme).

Answer:

a. It lacks rules of structure, meter, and rhyme scheme
