Which feature is a characteristic of a ballad?A. everyday language ordinarily used by most people
B. narrative verse set to music
C. narration through dialogue between characters
D. fourteen lines of lyrical verse

Answers

Answer=B

a ballad is a narrative verse set to music

Final answer:

A ballad is best characterized by having a narrative verse set to music and is traditionally sung. The language in a ballad varies and need not involve dialogue or a specific number of lines.

Explanation:

A ballad is characteristic of a couple of features but most notably, option B is correct: a ballad often takes the form of a narrative verse set to music. Ballads traditionally tell a story, and often a dramatic or sentimental one, intended to be sung. The language of a ballad can be everyday but it also can be poetic and enriched with various literary elements such as symbolism, metaphors, and so on. It's worth noting that ballads don't necessarily involve dialogue between characters like option C suggests, nor are they restricted to having exactly fourteen lines of lyrical verse like option D implies. These are more characteristics of other literary forms such as dramas or sonnets

Which part of this excerpt from John Updike's "The Brown Chest" shows that the main character finally appreciated the value of his family history?"And this?" she went on, leaving the bed hanging in a realm of future possibility. Her headscarf had slipped back, exposing auburn hair glinting above the vapor of her breath, in evanescent present time. She had paused at the chest. Her glance darted at Gordon, and then, receiving no response, at the present owner, looking him in the eyes for the first time. The ogre smiled. "Open it." "What's in it?" she asked. He said, "I forget, actually." Delicately but fearlessly, she lifted the lid, and out swooped, with the same vividness that had astonished and alarmed his nostrils as a child, the sweetish deep cedary smell, undiminished, cedar and camphor and paper and cloth, the smell of family, family without end.
