and she was glowing

and soft and flowing.

in the snow
looking up at the sky with dreams
i longed to know.

with a laughter so magical.
and that giggle
that sounded so whimsical

which of the following best describes the poems organization?

a. stanzas of two lines in which the end words of each line rhyme
b. stanzas of two lines in which the second and fourth line rhyme
c. stanzas of four lines in which the second and fourth line rhyme
d. stanzas of four lines in which the first and third line rhyme

Explanation:

First, analyze the poem's structure. Each stanza has four lines. Now check rhymes:

• First stanza: "glowing" (line 2) and "flowing" (line 4) rhyme.
• Second stanza: "snow" (line 2) and "know" (line 4) rhyme.
• Third stanza: "magical" (line 2) and "whimsical" (line 4) rhyme.
• Fourth stanza: "stay" (line 2) and "away" (line 4) rhyme.

So stanzas are four - lined, with second and fourth lines rhyming. Option a: stanzas are not two - lined. Option b: stanzas are four - lined, not two - lined. Option d: First and third lines don't rhyme (e.g., in first stanza "I" and "Her" don't rhyme). So option c is correct.

Answer:

c. stanzas of four lines in which the second and fourth line rhyme
