Answer:

c. abcb

Step-by-step explanation:

The rhyme scheme used in poem 712 by Emily Dickinson ("Because I could not stop for death...") is ABCB. However, this is a loose rhyme, as it does not follow the rules of strict rhyme schemes. A rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhyme that a poem follows. The first line, as well as any line that rhymes with it, receives the letter "A." Subsequent lines receive letters in alphabetical order.
