Question 3 • CMS 2025-2026 English I CREDIT RECOVERY

Read the poem. Skimming the bottom In the company of toes, I observe the deep end Though nobody knows. In the depths, I am bold, On the surface—shy. My goggles transform me: An underwater spy. What is the poem’s rhyme scheme?

Answer
A
aabb
B
abab
C
abcb
D
abcd

Explanation

The poem has two four-line stanzas. In each stanza, the second and fourth lines rhyme: “toes” rhymes with “knows,” and “shy” rhymes with “spy.” The first and third line endings do not rhyme with those or with each other, so each stanza follows AB​CB: choice C, abcb.
