Question 16 • **MFISD ENGLISH 1 B 22-23 CR

Trevor has been asked to analyze the rhyme scheme in Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 18.”Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,And often is his gold complexion dimm'd,And every fair from fair sometime declines,By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd:

Answer
A
aabb
B
abcd
C
abab
D
abcc

Explanation

The first and third lines end with “shines” and “declines,” which rhyme, so they share the A sound. The second and fourth lines end with “dimm'd” and “untrimm'd,” which rhyme, so they share the B sound. The pattern is ABAB, matching choice C.
