Final answer:
The rhyme scheme in the given stanza is 'ABCB', where only the second and fourth lines rhyme, making 'A. abcb' the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rhyme scheme referred to in the stanza provided is described by organizing the lines into a pattern based on their ending sounds. By assigning a unique letter to each new rhyme, we are able to identify the rhyme structure. Here, the first and third lines do not rhyme with each other or with any other lines; however, the second and fourth lines do rhyme. The fifth and sixth lines form a pair with matching rhyme sounds, which creates a specific pattern.
When applying this process to the stanza given, 'Surplice' and 'Wings' do not rhyme, but 'Church' and 'sings' do, creating a couplet. Therefore, the rhyme scheme used here can be represented as ABCB, where 'A' and 'B' represent the end sounds of 'Surplice' and 'Wings', which do not rhyme with any other lines, and 'C' represents the matching end sounds of 'Church' and 'sings'. The correct answer to the question would be A. abcb.
