This question is missing the answer options. I have found the complete question online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:
Which statement about the structure of these lines is true?
A. Juliet's lines make up one couplet, which uses an abab rhyme scheme.
B. Juliet's lines make up one stanza, which uses an aabb rhyme scheme.
C. Romeo's lines make up one quatrain, which uses an abab rhyme scheme.
D. Romeo's lines make up one sonnet, which uses an aabb rhyme scheme.
Answer:
The statement which is true about the lines is:
C. Romeo's lines make up one quatrain, which uses an abab rhyme scheme.
Step-by-step explanation:
A quatrain is nothing more than a stanza formed by four lines in a poem. Romeo's lines are indeed four, so we have a quatrain. Now, let's take a look at the rhyme scheme:
If I profane with my unworthiest hand A
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this; B
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand A
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. B
As we can see above, the rhyme scheme is ABAB. The final word "hand" in line one rhymes with "stand" in line three. The final word "this" in line two rhymes with "kiss" in line 4.
Having that in mind, we can choose letter C as the best option:
C. Romeo's lines make up one quatrain, which uses an abab rhyme scheme.
