What do you notice about this structure? A. Alternating lines are about the same length and all end with a dash.

B. Each line begins the same way and has the same number of words.

C. The lines don’t have an organized structure.

The correct answer is A. Alternating lines are about the same length and all end with a dash.

Explanation:

In most poems, lines follow a specific structure based on the number of syllables/words and other features such as rhyme or use of punctuation. In the case of the poem presented, there is a fixed structure because at the end of all the lines there is a dash (-) which might be used to replace a punctuation mark such as a comma and to create a pause between verses. Besides this, the length of verses 1 and 3 are similar, as well as the length between verses 2 and 4, which means alternating lines have a similar length based on the number of words and length of these. Thus, the option that best describes the structure is A.
