Answer 2

The rhyme scheme of the next stanza in the poem will be Option A: CDCD

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the common type of a poem is Sonnet. It is a 14-line poem. It is written with a particular rhyme scheme and has a specific meter. Each line in a sonnet poem has an iambic pentameter. This means it has 5 sets of "unstressed" and "stressed" syllables in each line, which means there are total of 10 syllables in each line.

Always remember the vowels of the syllables are stressed or unstressed, which drives the word. The way we put stress on the letters of the words, the meaning changes. So, if the given lines of the poem have rhyme scheme ABAB, next line will have rhyme scheme CDCD. Following 6 lines will have EFEF and GG rhyme scheme, making a 14-line Sonnet poem.
