Answer:

The correct answers are The stanzas feature a simple end-rhyme scheme.

and The lines alternate between iambic tetrameter and trimeter.

Explanation:

Regardless of what the excerpt is, <u>two of the characteristics of ballads</u> are that their language is simple, especially in old traditional ballads and that ballad stanzas have four lines, which rhyme in <em>abcb</em>. The goal is to form a rhyme between the second and fourth lines.

Another feature is that the ballad lines are altered between iambic tetrameter and trimeter. Originally, <u>ballads were expected to be lyrics with music for dancing</u>, that's why rhymes are so marked.

The fact that iambic tetrameter and trimeter are used implies that they were written in quartets with a regular ABCB rhyming scheme.

Currently, the meaning of ballad is used to refer to any slow love song.
