What signals that the poem is written in free verse? Check all that apply.

Free verse does not follow a regular rhyme scheme or a fixed pattern of stressed syllables, so A and C apply. It also does not require a set number of lines in each stanza, so E applies. A clear rhyme pattern and a fixed number of syllables per line are features of more structured verse, not signals of free verse.
