Question 6 • Common Core ELA 7 A-IC

Read this excerpt from “The Song of Wandering Aengus” by William Butler Yeats.And when white moths were on the wing,And moth-like stars were flickering out,I dropped the berry in a streamAnd caught a little silver trout.Which pattern describes the rhyme scheme of this stanza?

Answer
A
XAXA
B
XXAA
C
XAXB
D
XAAX

Explanation

The second line ends with “out,” and the fourth ends with “trout”; these words rhyme. The first line’s “wing” and the third line’s “stream” do not rhyme with each other or with that pair, so the pattern is XAXA.
