Question

complete the rhyme scheme.
white, glittering sunlight fills the market square,
spotted and sprigged with shadows. double rows
of bartering booths spread out their tempting shows
of globed and golden fruit, the morning air
smells sweet with ripeness, on the pavement there
a wicker basket gapes and overflows
from amy lowell, \market day\

Explanation:

To determine the rhyme scheme, we analyze the end - rhymes of each line:

Step 1: Analyze the first line

The first line ends with "square". Let's assign it the letter "A".

Step 2: Analyze the second line

The second line ends with "rows". Since it does not rhyme with "square", we assign it the letter "B".

Step 3: Analyze the third line

The third line ends with "shows". It rhymes with "rows" (from the second line), so we also assign it "B".

Step 4: Analyze the fourth line

The fourth line ends with "air". It does not rhyme with "square" or "rows/shows", so we assign it "C".

Step 5: Analyze the fifth line

The fifth line ends with "there". It rhymes with "square" (from the first line), so we assign it "A".

Step 6: Analyze the sixth line

The sixth line ends with "overflows". It rhymes with "rows/shows" (from the second and third lines), so we assign it "B".

So the rhyme scheme for the lines (from top to bottom) is: A, B, B, C, A, B.

Answer:

The rhyme scheme (from top to bottom of the lines) is A, B, B, C, A, B. So the boxes should be filled as follows:

• First box: A
• Second box: B
• Third box: B
• Fourth box: C
• Fifth box: A
• Sixth box: B
