The correct answer is A. ABAB

Explanation:

In poetry, the rhyme refers to the repetition of similar or same sounds, usually at the end of verses, this repetition provides cadence to the poem, marks the end of the lines and creates a pleasant experience while reading a poem. Additionally, there are different rhyme schemes classified according to the location of the words that rhyme in the verses and created by giving the words that rhyme the same latter. This means in the case of ABAB rhyme or alternate rhyme scheme, the last word of the first verse rhymes with the last one of the third verse and the last word of the second verse rhymes with the one in the fourth verse. This is the case of "Sonnet 29" in which each verse is separated by a comma, as the last word of the first verse "eyes" rhymes with the last word of the third verse "cries" and the last word of the second verse "state" rhymes with the one of the fourth verse "fate". Thus, the rhyme scheme of the excerpt presented is ABAB.

"Sonnet XXXI"
devlian [24]

Answer:

B. line 4 <em>That busy archer his sharp arrows tries?</em>

Explanation:

In Sonnet XXX or Sonnet 31, Philip Sydney (1554 – 1586) comments on the pale and sad appearance of moon, and he wonders why it is so. He asks the sun in line 4 whether there is also love which makes him pale and sad. He asks this by alluding to Cupid (the Roman god of love). Cupid is often portrayed with a bow and an arrow, and whoever is shot by that arrow falls in love. So, whoever falls in love is figuratively said to have been shot by Cupid's arrow.

The line 4 alludes to Cupid by calling him "that busy archer". Apart from this mythical allusion there is no allusion in this sonnet.
