Explanation:

• Poetic diction refers to the specific word choice and style a poet uses to create tone, mood, and meaning. It is not about rhyme scheme/rhythm (that's prosody), order of events (narrative structure), or ordinary language (prose - like language).
• An idiom is a phrase that has a figurative meaning different from its literal meaning. "Spilled the beans" means to reveal a secret, which is an idiom. The other sentences are literal descriptions.

• For "What is poetic diction?": The specific word choice and style a poet uses to create tone, mood, and meaning.
