Read the descriptions of rhyme schemes. Free verse: poetry that does not use a consistent rhyme scheme Iambic pentameter: a poetic rhyme scheme in which each rhyming line has ten syllables Blank verse: poetry that uses unrhymed iambic pentameter Rhyming couplets: a series of two consecutive lines that rhyme in a poem Based on the descriptions, what rhyme scheme does the poem "Harlem" use?

Answer
A
free verse
B
couplets
C
iambic pentameter
D
blank verse

Explanation

“Harlem” has lines of varying lengths and does not follow a consistent pattern of end rhymes. It may include occasional rhyming words, but that does not make the whole poem a series of rhyming couplets or unrhymed iambic pentameter. The poem is free verse, meaning it does not use a consistent rhyme scheme.
