Answer:
A. abcb
Explanation:
Read the poem out loud, paying particular attention the the last sounds of every line. Rhyming words sometimes look alike, but it's the sound that matters.
Death pronounced: deth
me pronounced: meee
selves pronounced: selvz "elvz" and "eth" are not similar.
ty pronounced: teeee Also has "eeee" sound like line 2.
To write the scheme, answer 'Does this line's last sound rhyme with anything <u>above</u> it?"
If no, continue with the alphabet.
If yes, take the letter from the line it rhymes with.
Line 1 No (nothing is above it)
"a"
Line 2 No (not above)
"b"
Line 3 No
"c"
Line 4 Yes, Line 2!
"b"
The rhyming scheme is abdb.
