Correct answers: 1, 3, and 4.
- Free verse gives the poet freedom to personify the wall and his own reactions (1), letting images and objects act like people without being constrained by form.
- It also permits extended similes and metaphors (3) to link the memorial to personal memory and emotion.
- And free verse enables an unconventional, speech-like rhythm (4) and varied line breaks/enjambment that mirror shifting moods and fragmented memory.
Option 2 is incorrect: free verse typically does not rely on a traditional rhyme scheme.
