Verified by Toppr

Here, let's go through the options -
(A) There are a lot of exclamatory sentences, so we can say that the poem does have expressive punctuation
(B) The rhyme scheme the poem follows is AABB- 'flame/frame', 'flying/dying'- in the first stanza, so we can say that the poem also has a rhyme scheme
(C) Regular meter is a poetic device that serves as a linguistic sound pattern for the verses, as it gives poetry a rhythmical and melodious sound. The poem does have a rhythm to it, so we can also agree that the poem has a regular meter.
(D)The poem does contain adjectives- 'vital', 'heav'nly' and 'seraphic' being a few.
(E)We do not find any Dickensian allusion (allusion pertaining to Charles Dickens's work). So, E is our answer.
