Explanation:

Question 15:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the description: "a New - American poet using juxtapositions and paradox". Among the options, Dickinson (Emily Dickinson) is known for her use of juxtapositions and paradox in her poetry, fitting the description of a New - American poet. Longfellow is more of a traditional romantic - style poet, Hughes is associated with the Harlem Renaissance and a different style, and the other options don't match the "New - American" and "juxtapositions/paradox" criteria. So the correct answer is the option with "Dickinson".

Question 16:

The description is "a Romantic poet who wrote about fearing ghosts". Edgar Allan Poe is a Romantic poet known for his works involving themes of the supernatural, including ghosts and fear. Whitman is a transcendentalist - leaning poet, Longfellow is a romantic poet but not known for ghost - related fear themes, and Emerson is a transcendentalist philosopher - poet. So the correct answer is the option with "Poe".

Question 17:

The description is "an African - American poet of traditional forms and realism". Paul Laurence Dunbar is an African - American poet who used traditional poetic forms and wrote realistically about the African - American experience. Whitman is a white American poet, Longfellow is a white romantic poet, and the other options don't fit the "African - American" and "traditional forms/realism" criteria. So the correct answer is the option with "Dunbar".

Answer:

1. The option with "Dickinson" (assuming the option is labeled with Dickinson, e.g., if the options are as in the image, the third option (with the circle) for question 15 is Dickinson).
2. The option with "Poe" (the third option for question 16).
3. The option with "Dunbar" (the first option for question 17).
