Excerpt from Life on the Mississippi Mark Twain 'If you were to hit it you would knock the boat's brains out. Do you see where t

he line fringes out at the upper end and begins to fade away?' 'Yes, sir.' 'Well, that is a low place; that is the head of the reef. You can climb over there, and not hurt anything. Cross over, now, and follow along close under the reef--easy water there-- not much current.' I followed the reef along till I approached the fringed end. Then Mr. Bixby said--'Now get ready. Wait till I give the word. She won't want to mount the reef; a boat hates shoal water. Stand by--wait--WAIT--keep her well in hand. NOW cramp her down! Snatch her! Snatch her!' What thing is being personified as a "she" in the selected lines? A) the boat B) Mr. Bixby C) a swordfish D) the captain's wife

Read the following excerpt from “Greece” by Oscar Wilde.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

ABBA

Explanation:

In a poem generally the last word of each line indicates the rhyming scheme. It is denoted be letters ABC etc. The first word of the first line is taken as A in a stanza and the last word of each line is compared with it. If the last word of the second line rhymes with the word in the first line then we write the rhyme scheme as AABB. Where B is the another word rhyming with the last word of the fourth line and so on.

Here sky (A) rhymes with lie (A) and air (B) rhymes with fair (B).

So, the rhyming scheme of this stanza is ABBA.
