A rhyming couplet is two lines in a poem which rhyme and typically have the same meter, which means they have the same number of syllables.
The correct answer is D. "<span>Her breath in mine, our fluent dipping knives-/ Never closer the whole rest of our lives"
A and B don't even rhyme, and C belongs to a quatrain, not a couplet, and those two lines don't have the same meter. D meets all the requirements of a rhyming couplet. </span>
The words in the brackets are telling the actors what to physically do, meaning it would be a stage direction.
It isn't dialogue because that is a conversation between two people.
It isn't dialect because that is how a person speaks. There is no speaking in the brackets.
It isn't narration because it isn't spoken allowed for the audience.
It isn't a description because that is too broad a term more often used for emotions.
You would use empathetic listening in conversations with friends or family.
The correct answer is A. because, that is the answer that makes the most sense. It also is the only choice that is properly written with correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
Hope I helped!
