Answer:

The answer is indeed letter C) aba aba

Explanation:

To determine the rhyme scheme in a poem, we must look at the last word of each line. The last word of the first line is becomes the rhyme "a". When other last words sound similar to it, they are also "a". When they sound different, we give them other letters following the alphabet - b, c, d etc. - every time a new rhyme appears.

Let's analyze the excerpt given:

Do not go gentle into that good night, --> first last word, a

Old age should burn and rave at close of day; --> sounds different than night, b

Rage, rage against the dying of the light. --> rhymes with night, a

Though wise men at their end know dark is right, ---> a

Because their words had forked no lightning they --> rhymes with "they", b

Do not go gentle into that good night. --> a

Thus, the rhyme scheme in this excerpt is aba aba.

Which detail most strongly develops the theme of love in "The Raven"?
user100 [1]

Answer:

A. The speaker asks the raven if he will see Lenore again in heaven.

Explanation:

The Raven is a story that creates a contradictory atmosphere by the desire to remember and the desire to forget. It exposes the lover's loneliness, despair, melancholy, sadness shown through his own madness. All these feelings, fueled by the crow's words "never again".

The lover reveals the lack of his beloved, and the words of the raven "never again" culminate in the despair of the lover, whose anguish and sadness create in him a great madness, whose delusions are based on the loss of his beloved and the loneliness he suffers from knowing that he has lost his friends, his hopes and soon his visitor, the raven.
