Answer:
The correct answer is: It is made up of a rhyme scheme of abab, cdcd.
Explanation:
In this sonnet, Shakespeare describes chronicles which contain some beautiful descriptions of the past where he notice the beauty of the youth and the young man.
The syntax of the Sonnet 106 is characterised by a specific rhyme scheme of abab, cdcd, as we can see from the excerpt above. In this excerpt, the first line is rhyming with the third (<em>time </em>rhymes with <em>rhyme</em>), the second line rimes with the fourth (<em>wights </em>rhymes with <em>knights</em>), etc.
When in the chronicle of wasted <u>time</u>
I see descriptions of the fairest wights,
And beauty making beautiful old <u>rhyme</u>,
In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,
Then in the blazon of sweet beauty's <u>best</u>
Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,
I see their antique pen would have <u>express'd</u>
Even such a beauty as you master now.
Answer:
D) Testing has shown that teenage boys between the ages of 15-18 sleep longer than teenage girls in the same age group.
Explanation:
The best way to revise this sentence is given in option D.
Option A lacks all necessary details, simply stating that males sleep longer than females. The research/testing, children's age, and the hours are not mentioned.
Option B feels like the second best, but a very important piece of information is missing - the specific age. Teenagers are children aged 13-19, and the difference between 13- and 19-year-olds is huge.
Option C also lacks information about the subjects' age.
Option D is also not ideal but feels the most complete. It doesn't mention how much longer exactly the boys sleep, but that detail isn't as important as the specific age is.
