Question

complete the rhyme scheme.
a b b b c d
the sun was shining on the sea,
shining with all his might:
he did his very best to make
the huge waves smooth and bright-
and this was odd, because it was
the middle of the night.

Explanation:

Rhyme scheme is determined by the ending sounds of lines. The first line "sea" is unique (A). The second line "might" doesn't rhyme with "sea" (B). The third line "make" rhymes with "might" (B). The fourth line "bright" rhymes with "might" and "make" (B). The fifth line "was" is new (C). The sixth line "night" is new (D).

Answer:

A, B, B, B, C, D
