Question

question 10 of 10
read the lines:
that woman’s days were spent
in ignorant good will,
her nights in argument
until her voice grew shrill.
which correctly notes the rhyme scheme?
a. aabb
b. abba
c. abab
d. abcb

Explanation:

1. Assign the first line's end word "spent" the label a.
2. The second line's end word "will" does not rhyme with "spent", so it gets label b.
3. The third line's end word "argument" does not rhyme with "spent" or "will", so it gets label c.
4. The fourth line's end word "shrill" rhymes with "will" (label b), so it also gets label b.

This results in the rhyme scheme abcb.

Answer:

D. abcb
