Answer: A. abcb
In this excerpt, Dickinson uses the rhyme scheme "abcb," as she rhymes "home" with "dome."
A rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhymes that a poem has. When we write out a rhyme scheme, we use letters to indicate which lines rhyme. Lines that have the same letter rhyme with each other. Therefore, in this example, the lines that end with "home" and "dome" are both labelled "b."
The correct answer here is definitely A.
The excerpt shows the wilderness it is dog eat dog world and the only the strongest will survive. This is even explicitly said in the sentence:
<span>The
blood-longing became stronger than ever before. He was a killer, a
thing that preyed, living on the things that lived, unaided, alone, by
virtue of his own strength and prowess, surviving triumphantly in a
hostile environment where only the strong survived.
</span>
<span></span>The wilderness does not care and it is a hostile environment and if you want to survive you have to strong.
<span />
