Question

the rhyme pattern that occurs at the ends of lines in poetry is called
a rhyme meter.
a rhyme rhythm.
a rhyme ending.
a rhyme scheme.

Explanation:

In poetry, the pattern of rhymes at the ends of lines is defined as a rhyme scheme. A rhyme meter relates to the rhythmic structure of syllables, rhyme rhythm is about the rhythmic aspect of rhyme (not the pattern of end - rhymes), and a rhyme ending is a single rhyming end of a line, not a pattern. So the correct term for the pattern of rhymes at line ends is a rhyme scheme.

Answer:

D. a rhyme scheme
