Question

what is the rhyme scheme of this excerpt from paul laurence dunbars poem \dreams\? \dream on, for dreams are sweet: do not awaken! dream on, and at thy feet pomegranates shall be shaken.\ options: a, b, a, b; a, b, b, a; a, b, c, d

Explanation:

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

• The first line ends with "sweet" (we assign it the letter A).
• The second line ends with "awaken" (we assign it the letter B).
• The third line ends with "feet" (it rhymes with "sweet", so we assign it A).
• The fourth line ends with "shaken" (it rhymes with "awaken", so we assign it B).

So the rhyme scheme is A, B, A, B.

Answer:

A. A, B, A, B
