Answer 1

I'd say C, pose poems are known for the way in which they avoid conventional poetic techniques, because the rest are true. Annabel Lee is about his dead wife (aka his cousin), The Cask of Amontillado does take place during a Mardi Gras scenery, and The Raven uses repetition for dramatic effects.

Answer 2

C. Poe's poems are known for the way in which they avoid conventional poetic techniques.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the statement that is not true with regard to Edgar Allan Poe's poetry. Poe is not known for avoiding conventional techniques. In fact, he uses many of these, both in terms of structure and themes as well as in terms of rhetorical devices. In fact, the poem "The Raven" was written logically and methodically following strict poetic conventions.
