“i’m proud of you, son,” beamed pops.

Answer:

If this fictional journal entry were adapted into a poem, one of its defining characteristics would be that Jerome would speak in first person. Here, the right answer is Option A.

Explanation:

Written from Jerome’s point of view since the beginning of the excerpt we notice that he has started talking about the unforgettable match where he and his team has won and how he has become famous in his neighbourhood. He is congratulated by everyone including his teacher, coach and father. Jerome was extremely excited about the entire event. The whole passage talks about Jerome so if the journal entry is converted into a poem then it is logical and meaningful that Jerome pens it down in first person.

If this fictional journal entry were adapted into a poem, an element that might be one of its defining characteristics is that Jerome would speak in first person.

Explanation:

The original journal was written in the first person, as Jerome tells the story of the incredible experiences he has just got to live in the last day, then one characteristic that could be used in an adaptation to a poem would be the point of view in which it is written, it would keep the same way of communication in a different kind of writing.
