Read the excerpt from "Acquainted with the Night” by Robert Frost.I have stood still and stopped the sound of feetWhen far away an interrupted cryCame over houses from another street,But not to call me back or say good-bye;And further still at an unearthly height, One luminary clock against the sky

Answer
A
couplets
B
quatrains
C
quintains
D
tercets

Explanation

The excerpt is arranged as two groups of three lines, called tercets. The rhyme links the groups: “feet” and “street” rhyme in the first group, while “cry” and “good-bye” connect to “sky” in the second. So the correct choice is tercets.
