Answer: 1, 3, and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Poetry tends to have a rhyme scheme or a specific rhythm to it that makes it "flow."

The vocabulary of poetry also tends to be more descriptive. Because poetry usually has a set rhythm to it, all the meaning of the poetry has to be compressed into that rhythm.
