Question

read the poem.
instruments poised, chins high
not a blink, nor a sigh
as every eye awaits her hand
to cue the members of the band.
what is the poems rhyme scheme?
aabb
abab
abcb
abcd

Explanation:

To determine the rhyme scheme, we look at the end - sounds of each line.

• Line 1: "high"
• Line 2: "sigh" (rhymes with "high", so both are assigned 'a')
• Line 3: "hand"
• Line 4: "band" (rhymes with "hand", so both are assigned 'b')

Answer:

A. aabb
