1. Words that rhyme and occur at the ends of different lines of poetry create

D- rhyme scheme.

For example, if not every line rhymes, but every other line does, then that's a rhyme scheme of ABAB. For example-

"Tell me not, in mournful numbers,

Life is but an empty dream!—

For the soul is dead that slumbers,

And things are not what they seem."

Numbers and slumbers rhyme, and dream and seem rhyme. this is the most common use. You also see it in the "roses are red, violets are blue" thing.

2. This is to a poem what a paragraph is to prose.

A. Stanza

Prose is basically everything that's NOT poetry in the poem- the ordinary parts. Dialogue and regular sentences without rhythm or rhyme scheme or anything. So an entire piece of prose would be a paragraph.

I'm not 100% sure on this one, because I had never heard the word prose before answering, but I assume since stanzas are the pieces of poetry, and proses are the pieces of paragraphs, the answer is A.

3. How do you know you are most likely reading a poem?

D. It will be written using lines and stanzas.

Poems can be very different from each other, some don't have rhythym, some don't rhyme, some will contain some types of figurative language and not other types. But every type of poem is written in stanzas, lines written one at a time instead of like paragraphs.

4. is a series of stressed or unstressed sounds in a group of words.

B. Rhythm

Rhythm in a poem is generally defined as "the long and short patterns through stressed and unstressed syllables." it's usually in one verse at a time, and only really identifiable when reading out loud.

5. Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O. E-I-E-I-O is an example of:

A. Refrain.

A refrain is a repeated word, line, or group of lines that appears at the end of a stanza. It's way more common in songs, they have two different verses and one or two or three instances of a chorus, or refrain, that go in between them all.

Hope this helps!
