In this particular excerpt, the rhyming scheme is "abab"

That is because the first and the third lines rhyme and the second and the fourth lines rhyme.

a nineteen-line poem divided into five tercets and a final quatrain. The ______uses only two rhymes which are repeated as follow
anastassius [24]

Answer:

The answer is villanelle.

Explanation:

A villanelle is a nineteen-line poem, constituted of five tercets and a quatrain. The rhyming scheme for those lines is: aba, aba, aba, aba, aba, abaa. Some lines are repeated throughout the poem. The repeated lines are called refrains. Thus, the description given in the question is that of a villanelle. Let's check those characteristics in Dylan Thomas's poem "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night":

(First tercet)

Do not go gentle into that good night,  A

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;  B

Rage, rage against the dying of the light. A

(Second tercet)

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,  A

Because their words had forked no lightning they  B

Do not go gentle into that good night.  A

(Third tercet)

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright  A

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,  A

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.  A

(Fourth tercet)

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,  A

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,  B

Do not go gentle into that good night.  A

(Fifth tercet)

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight  A

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,  B

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.  A

(Quatrain)

And you, my father, there on the sad height,  A

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.  B

Do not go gentle into that good night.  A

Rage, rage against the dying of the light. A

Rhyming scheme: night and the words that rhyme with it - A; day and the words that rhyme with it - B.

Refrains: "Do not go gentle into that good night" and "Rage, rage against the dying of the light".

Would you like Fred and to leave for lunch now? me or myself
DedPeter [7]
The answer is me. Would you like Fred and me to leave for lunch now? Because if you were to say this without Fred you would say, "Would you like me to leave for lunch now" rather than, "Would you like myself to leave for lunch now". So your correct answer is me. Saying myself sounds awkward and is not the correct terminology for this phrase. 
I hope this helps!

Select all that apply. Which of the following are correct? Daniel, that guy with the hair, is sitting at the end of the hall. Da
Nadusha1986 [10]
I believe that the two sentences (apart from one with the brackets) are correct. So, those would be:
1. <span>Daniel, that guy with the hair, is sitting at the end of the hall. 
2. </span><span>Daniel—that guy with the hair—is sitting at the end of the hall.

Using commas and dashes to separate the appositive phrase from the rest of the sentence is grammatically acceptable, whereas using brackets is not.</span>
