I've been meaning to <em>ask you</em>
If that's not too <em>drastical</em>
wonder if it's <em>okay</em>
To pick you up by<em> eight</em>
The rhyme scheme of this poem is AABB. The rhyme in this poem is achieved by the pronounciation and stress put into "ask you"; stressing ASK and then stressing the first syllabe of "drastical" and this way the rhyme on the first two lines is completed. Then for the last two lines the rhyme is achieved and the whole stanza resolved by stressing "okAY" and then "Eight".
Meter:
The stanza's meter is trochaic tetrameter (4 trochees, 8 syllables)
<em>I</em><em>'ve</em> <em>been </em>| <em>meaning</em><em> </em>| <em>to</em> | ask you
if that's | not | too | drastical
wonder | if | it's | okay
To pick | you up | by | eight
This rhyme scheme and meter are most used by rap artist for it's impact and flexibility to create a rhyme. The stressed words are the ones that address the receiver of the message that is a proposition for a meeting or a date. This poem is fitting for the rap music genre, for it's pronounciation of key words (with a suburban accent) completes the rhyme in the second and third lines ("oKAY" and "DRAStical").

Answer:
6. What are you buying?
7. Do you play basketball?
8. What have you become?
9. What do they have?
10. What is she going to take.
Explanation:
6. I wrote this answer for the sixth one because it refers to ‘ What is she buying?’
7. Because the given sentence is already a question.
8. This is because the question refers to ‘ what have you become?’ because the second person will always say ‘ I have’ instead of ‘You have’.
9. This is because the sentence refers to ‘ What do they have?’
10. This is because the sentence refers to ‘ What will she take?’
