what is the rhyme scheme in this excerpt from robert frosts \the road not taken\?

and sorry i could not travel both
and be one traveler, long i stood
and looked down one as far as i could
to where it bent in the undergrowth;
a. abacb
b. abaaab
c. ababa

Explanation:

To determine the rhyme scheme, we label each line with a letter. Lines that rhyme share the same letter.

• Line 1: "wood" - label \(a\)
• Line 2: "both" - label \(b\)
• Line 3: "stood" - label \(a\)
• Line 4: "could" - label \(b\)
• Line 5: "undergrowth" - label \(a\)

Answer:

C. ababa
