Answer 1

Answer: A poem that has all the elements of a story

Explanation: The sentence that best describes narrative poetry is a poem that has all the elements of a story. Narrative poetry tells stories in verse form. Like other stories, these ones have a setting, characters, a plot, and different actions. They may even contain dialogue. Usually, they have only one character that is the narrator. "The Raven", by Edgar Allan Poe is an example of this narrative.
