What pattern develops in these first three stanzas of "ah, are you digging on my grave"? one stanza begs for an object and the next stanza describes it. one stanza makes an appeal and the next stanza rejects it. each stanza begins with a question and ends with an answer and explanation. each stanza opens with a description and ends with a simile or metaphor?

The correct answer is C: Each stanza begins with a question and ends with an answer and explanation.

This belongs to the poem "Ah, Are You Digging on My Grave" written by Thomas Hardy. The first three stanzas show a similar pattern. A variation of the question "Are you digging on my grave" is presented at the beginning of each stanza. The first three stanzas, as well, end with an answer and explanation to that question.
