The options are the same as the paragraph block, but the verse block lets you add extra spaces between words and line breaks within the block. The live site will display the spacing just as you typed it.
Note that the layout of the verse block on your live site may change according to the styles of the theme you are using.
More details for these standard block styles can be found in the following guides:
