Answer: B) abab, cdcd.

Explanation: To determine the rhyme scheme of a poem or stanza, we must pay attention to the final sound of each line. The similar sounds will have the same letter, and the unique sounds, different letters (starting with the letter "A"). In the given lines from "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll, the lines 1 and three end with the words "toves" and "borogoves" respectively, which rhyme and therefore they would be represented by the letter "A." The lines 2 and 4 also rhyme (wabe and outgrabe), so they would have the letter "B." In the same way we analize the rest: "son" and "shun" (letter C) and "catch" and "Bandersnatch" (letter D). So the final rhyme scheme would be: ABAB, CDCD.

Explanation:

A gerund is a word formed from a verb by adding -ing that acts as a noun. It has some properties of a verb, though, as it can be modified by an adverb and take a direct object.

An example of a gerund used in a sentence:

Reading is good for you. (Reading - read + ing. It acts as a noun and it's the subject of the sentence).

A gerund phrase is a phrase that contains a gerund and other modifiers or objects associated with it (Cutting our own tree at Christmas time, Losing my wallet).
