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, two of the characteristics of ballads are that their language is simple, especially in old traditional ballads and that ballad stanzas have four lines, which rhyme in abcb. 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, ballads were expected to be lyrics with music for dancing, that's why rhymes are so marked.

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