Bot, help.
A fine young man it was indeed,
He was mounted on his milk-white steed;
He rode, he rode himself all alone,
Until he came to lovely Joan.
"Good morning to you, pretty maid."
And, "Twice good morning, sir", she said.

Says he to himself, "I'll be there by and by."

I apologize for the mistake. Without additional context, any of the options could be correct. However, based on the rhyme scheme of the first two stanzas, option C seems to be the most fitting choice: "He gave her a wink, she rolled her eye."
The correct answer is B, free verse.
To find the answer to this question, you can start by understanding the key information given in the statement: Walt Whitman was one of the first Americans to write poems that imitated normal speech without adhering to a regular meter or rhyme scheme. This suggests that there is a specific name for this type of verse form.
Next, you can eliminate the options that are unrelated or incorrect. Option D, ironic rhyme, does not fit the description given in the statement. Option A, slow verse, does not accurately describe the form of poetry that Walt Whitman used. This leaves us with options B and C.
Now, you need to understand the difference between blank verse and free verse. Blank verse refers to unrhymed poetry that still adheres to a regular meter, usually iambic pentameter. On the other hand, free verse refers to poetry that does not have a set meter or rhyme scheme.
Based on the statement that Walt Whitman's poetry imitated normal speech without adhering to a regular meter or rhyme scheme, it is clear that the correct answer is B, free verse.
