Question

read the excerpt from \the three about ben\
we got to sign
we got used the surprise
i used to tell them,
repeating hasten and wse
which characteristic of narrative poetry is reflected in these lines?
○ character development
○ figurative language
○ use of symbols
○ description of setting

Explanation:

To determine the characteristic of narrative poetry in these lines, we analyze each option:

• "Character development" focuses on how characters change/grow, but these lines don't show that.
• "Figurative language" uses devices like metaphor, simile, etc. The lines "We got to gym, We got used the surprise, I used to tell them, Running faster and wiser" don't have obvious figurative language. Wait, maybe a mis - read? Wait, maybe the lines are from a poem with symbolic elements? No, wait, maybe the correct option is "use of symbols"? No, wait, maybe "description of setting"? No. Wait, maybe the lines are about character actions? No. Wait, maybe the correct option is "character development" is not right. Wait, maybe the lines are part of a narrative where the speaker's actions (going to gym, getting used to surprise, telling others, running faster/wiser) show character development as the speaker is changing their behavior or gaining wisdom. So the characteristic is character development? Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, narrative poetry often includes character development as the story unfolds. The lines show the speaker's actions and growth (running faster and wiser), so the characteristic is character development.

A. character development
