from ellis parker butler, \a question\

Explanation:

To determine the rhyme scheme, we analyze the end - words' rhymes. The first line ends with "stands" (rhyme group A), the second with "food" (rhyme group B). The third line ends with "change", which doesn't rhyme with "stands" or "food", so it gets a new group C. The fourth line ends with "rude", which rhymes with "food" (both have the "oo" sound), so it belongs to group B.

Answer:

Third line: C, Fourth line: B
