Answer:

B is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The characteristic of Shakespeare’s sonnets is their rhyme scheme. The sonnet is divided into three quatrains (stanzas of four lines), which each have two rhymes (A and B). The whole poem follows the rhyme scheme A-B-A-B / C-D-C-D / E-F-E-F. Finally, the last two lines are grouped together as a couplet, and rhymes with each other. They would be G-G.

All of Shakespeare’s sonnets share this characteristic. We now commonly call it the Shakespearean sonnet.

  • They have abab,cdcd,efef and gg rhyme schemes.

His sonnets are made up of three quatrains and a final couplet.A quatrain is a four line stanza and a couplet is a two lines at the end.
