Which best explains the author's use of free verse in "My Father is a Simple Man"?to show that his father is disorganized

to create a humorous mood

because he didn't like rhymes

to create a realistic, natural expression of the relationship

Answers

to create a realistic, natural expression of the relationship.

I think that's the answer because if the poem was set up with a regular meter or rhymed, ect., it definitely wouldn't have the same affect on the reader. It's a simple relationship between a father and daughter, and the poem is almost a dedication to the father. It doesn't need to be written in a certain matter to express the love and admiration the daughter has for the father, just simple words to express the emotion. 

hope this helped!!
