Question

complete the rhyme scheme.
a a b b c
he wriggled
and giggled,
and then i declare,
swung backward and forward
and tilted his chair.
from heinrich hoffmann, \the story of fidgety philip\

Explanation:

Rhyme scheme is determined by the ending sounds of lines. "Wriggled" and "giggled" rhyme (both end with -gled), so they are assigned the same letter (A). "Declare" has a different ending sound, so it's B. "Forward" doesn't rhyme with "declare" but "chair" rhymes with "declare" (both have -are sound), so "declare" and "chair" are B.

Answer:

A, A, B, B, B
