In order to find which is the rhyme scheme for this poem we are going to review one stanza as an example.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, A (first ending sound)
Is our destined end or way; B (second ending sound
But to act, that each to-morrow A (repeat the sound of the first line)
Find us farther than to-day. B (repeat the sound of the second line)
After this review, we can se that the scheme is the same on every stanza, the answer is The poem adheres to a strict ABAB rhyme scheme throughout each stanza. Is the same rhyme scheme in every stanza from the beginning to the end.
A hunter in the woods is the rescuer.
b. Fortunato has never been found.
The key sentence for the answer is "For half of a century no mortal has disturbed them." Half a century is fifty years. We know that Montressor built the wall that night and walled in Fortunato. This eliminates A. Also, C is just wrong since he entombed Fortunato, not the old bones. Option D is also wrong since Fortunato is dead - he's not sleeping. The statement "no mortal has disturbed them" best indicates that Fortunato has never been found.
