Answer 2

Correct on 1
Correct on 2
Correct on 3
Correct on 4, I think (Longfellow died in the late 1800s, so he probably isn't modern, and I think he preferred hexameter to free verse)
Wrong on 5. The way I was taught, the appositive is basically the comma enclosed, long winded form of an adjective.
