Answer written by student:
(a) ABABCC
Step-by-step explanation:👇
- To find the rhyme scheme of a poem, we need to look at the last words of each line and assign them letters based on their sounds.🔊
- For example, if two lines end with words that rhyme, we give them the same letter. If a line ends with a word that does not rhyme with any other word, we give it a different letter.🔤
- In this extract, the last words of the first and third lines are "twelve" and "earth", which rhyme with each other. So we give them the letter A.🅰️
- The last words of the second and fourth lines are "still" and "language", which rhyme with each other. So we give them the letter B.🅱️
- The last words of the fifth and sixth lines are "second" and "much", which do not rhyme with any other word. So we give them different letters, C and D.🆑🆒
- Therefore, the rhyme scheme of this extract is ABABCC.✔️
