Read the passage. Which statement best describes how Belle changes over the course of the story? Riding a Bicycle It was a brigh

t Sunday morning when Belle woke up with the biggest smile on her face. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Her father was going to teach her to ride a bicycle. She dressed quickly and gulped down her breakfast. After breakfast, Belle’s father showed her the different parts of a bike. Then he said he would hold onto the back of the bike while she peddled. But Belle’s excitement got the better of her. She said she wanted to try riding by herself. Her father let go. Belle quickly lost her balance and crashed to the ground. The fall dazed her. She grumpily agreed to let her father keep holding the bike while she rode. Every once in a while, he would let go. The moment he did, Belle would lose her balance and topple over. Her father explained that this was perfectly normal. He said that all first-time riders fall. Even so, Belle’s mood darkened with each fall. After a while, she wanted to give up and return home. Belle’s father tried to talk her out of quitting. He pointed toward some other children biking nearby. He showed her how happy they looked as they rode their bicycles. He told her she needed to keep trying. With a little more effort, she would soon enjoy riding just like the other children. His words gave Belle the determination to keep going. After several more failed tries, Belle finally got the hang of it. She began gently peddling by herself, beaming with pride. She had finally done it! That night, she went to bed with a couple of bruises and cuts. But she had an even bigger smile on her face than she’d had in the morning. She would forever remember this day and the lesson she learned about never quitting. A. Belle starts showing more trust in her father as he teaches her how to ride a bike. B. Belle becomes less excited as the story goes on, until her excitement for bike riding disappears. C. Belle learns both how to ride a bike and how important it is not to give up. D. Belle gets hurt from falling off her bike, which scares her away from bike riding for good.

What rhyme scheme is used in this excerpt from the poem "To Lucasta, Going to the Wars" by Richard Lovelace?
iogann1982 [59]

The answer is b ) abab cdcd.


In poetry, letters such as a, b, c, etc. are assigned to represent the rhyme that occurs at the end of a line. When you see the first rhyme pair, you’d label that one ‘a’ since that is the first rhyme. The second rhyme pair would be labeled ‘b,’ and so on...


Let’s take a look at the first quatrain from Richard Lovelace's "To Lucasta, Going to the Wars," and please be sure to read it aloud, so you can clearly hear the rhyme.


<em>True, a new mistress now I chase,</em>

<em>The first foe in the field;</em>

<em>And with a stronger faith embrace</em>

<em>A sword, a horse, a shield.</em>


Okay, so when reading this aloud, we can clearly hear that the first rhymes that occur in the excerpt are in line one and line three. Both last words in the line seem to end with a sort of ‘ace’ sound. This brings both the words “chase” and “embrace” to rhyme. So, since that’s our first rhyme, we’ll label both those lines with the letter ‘a.'


<em>True, a new mistress now I chase</em>, {a}

<em>The first foe in the field;</em>

<em>And with a stronger faith embrace</em>   {a}

<em>A sword, a horse, a shield.</em>


Now, if you could please, once again, read the first quatrain so we could try to hear a second rhyme pair.


Again, you can clearly hear another rhyme going on between lines two and four. Both end words in the line end with a sort of “-ield” sound. So, since this is the second rhyme we have located, we’ll label those lines with the letter ‘b.'


<em>True, a new mistress now I chase, </em>{a}

<em>The first foe in the field; </em>{b}

<em>And with a stronger faith embrace </em>{a}

<em>A sword, a horse, a shield. </em>{b}


This proves the rhyme scheme for the first quatrain to be abab. But, there is another quatrain in the excerpt provided, so let’s take a look at that one now. Please read the second quatrain aloud so you can clearly detect the rhyming used.


<em>Yet this inconstancy is such,</em>

<em>As you too shall adore;</em>

<em>I could not love thee, Dear, so much,</em>

<em>Loved I not honour more</em>


Now, you can hear a rhyme going on with the end words in lines one and three in this quatrain. The rhyming comes from both the words “such” and “much.” As they both end with the sounds of “-uch.” It is important to remember that since these end rhymes are completely different from the first two in the first quatrain, this rhyme pair will be labeled with the next letter in the alphabet. That letter is ‘c.'


<em>Yet this inconstancy is such, </em> {c}

<em>As you too shall adore;</em>

<em>I could not love thee, Dear, so much, </em> {c}

<em>Loved I not honour more</em>


And now when reading the quatrain aloud we can tell that there is another rhyme with between the words “adore” and “more.” As they both end with the sounds of “-ore.” Again, these rhymes are totally different from the first three we have detected so these will be labeled with the letter ‘d.'


<em>Yet this inconstancy is such, </em> {c}

<em>As you too shall adore; </em> {d}

<em>I could not love thee, Dear, so much</em>, {c}

<em>Loved I not honour more </em> {d}


Since we have covered all the lines from both the quatrains, we have detected all our rhyme schemes.


So, our final rhyme scheme would be b ) abab cdcd.
