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:

In the poem, the first line "Instruments poised, chins high" (let's call its rhyme sound 'a'). The second line "Not a blink, nor a sigh" also rhymes with 'a' (so 'a'). The third line "As every eye awaits her hand" has a new rhyme sound 'b'. The fourth line "To cue the members of the band" rhymes with the third line (so 'b'). So the rhyme scheme is abab.

Answer:

B. abab
