Question

what is the couplet pattern in both \the author to her book\ and \a hymn to the evening\?
○ a pair of two consecutive lines in a poem
○ rhyming lines throughout the poem
○ a pair of simple thought patterns in a poem
○ consecutive pairs of rhyming lines

Explanation:

A poetic couplet is defined as two consecutive lines that rhyme. The first option only describes consecutive lines without mentioning rhyme, the second refers to all rhyming lines (not paired consecutive ones), and the third refers to thought patterns, not the structural couplet pattern. The correct definition matches the fourth option.

Answer:

consecutive pairs of rhyming lines
