Explanation:

Analyze the ending words of each line

• Line 1 ends with "said" (designated as sound A).
• Line 2 ends with "flowers" (designated as sound B).
• Line 3 ends with "march" (does not rhyme with "said" or "flowers", designated as sound C).
• Line 4 ends with "ours" (rhymes with "flowers", designated as sound B).

Determine the overall pattern

• Matching the designated letters to the lines:
• Line 1: A
• Line 2: B
• Line 3: C
• Line 4: B
• This yields the pattern A-B-C-B.

Answer:

• A-B-B-A
• A-B-C-B (Correct answer)
