Question 10 • **MFISD ENGLISH 1 B 22-23 CR

Which is an example of a couplet from Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 18”?

Answer

A

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

B

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,And often is his gold complexion dimm'd,

C

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,

D

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Explanation

A couplet is a pair of consecutive lines that usually rhyme. In Sonnet 18, “see” and “thee” rhyme at the ends of the final two lines, making choice D the closing couplet. The other choices each show two lines that do not form a rhyming pair.
