Explanation:

In poetry, rhyme scheme is determined by the pattern of rhyming words at the end of lines. The first line "I visited the place where we last met" ends with "met" (assigned A). The second line "Nothing was changed, the gardens were well - tended" ends with "tended" (different sound, so B). The third line "The fountains sprayed their usual steady jet" ends with "jet" (rhymes with "met" - A). The fourth line "There was no sign that anything had ended" ends with "ended" (rhymes with "tended" - B). The fifth line "And nothing to instruct me to forget" ends with "forget" (rhymes with "jet" and "met" - A).

Answer:

A, B, A, B, A
