Es. 2

a)In each stanza, the first two lines represent Lord Randal's mother's questions, the second two lines represent Lord Randal's answers. The story is told in general terms because Lord Randal is very hasty in the answers.

 

b)In the first stanza there are not expressions which hint at Lord Randal's death, because he says that he is wearied with hunting.

 

c)The sixth stanza does not contain questions and it is relevant because it reveals to us what really happened to Lord Randal: he has been poisoned!

 

d)They are the second stanza and for Lord Randal's oral testament the seventh, the eighth and the nineth stanzas.

The dialogue between the mother and her child is factual because the child responds coldly to his mother's questions, limiting himself to saying what is necessary and giving her orders. Emerges the love of his mother, who is very worried and asks him many questions to understand what happened to him.
