Analyzing the options, we can obtain the following conclusions; even when the poets used their work to express their ideas about the world sometimes, they can use a character as the speaker instead of themselves, the epic is a type of long narrative poem and the ballad is a short narrative folk song, instead of a poem. The poetry is rich in literary devices, nevertheless, the literary elements are not one of its characteristics, the poem do not necessary contain these. The answer is Epics and ballads are types of narrative poems
