Read the excerpt from "If" by Rudyard Kipling.

English
1 answer:
Gemiola [76]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The rhyme scheme used in the excerpt is:

D. A B A B C D C D

Explanation:

We say words rhyme when their final sounds are the same. For example: feel - peel; cat - bat.

<u>To find the rhyme scheme of a poem, we must attribute letters to the final word of each line. The first final word is always A. Any words that rhyme with it will also be A. The next word with a different final sound will be B. The words that sound like it will also be B. The next different one will be C, and so on.</u>

With that in mind, let's look at each final word from the excerpt:

winnings A

toss B

beginnings A

loss B

sinew C

gone D

in you C

on D

The rhyme scheme is A B A B C D C D.

Read the lines from Byron's "She Walks in Beauty" and answer the question.
jonny [76]

The correct answer is sighing from desire.

Indeed, the lexical field is populated with words that express tenderness, beauty and purity. However, there is a symbolic, underlying carnal desire in the poem. The sibilance is very ambiguous, just as the meaning of the words used to convey it (shade, less, grace, waves, tress). The word “waves” is especially evocative, as it expresses the waves of  desire of the narrator for the beautiful woman.
