Read this excerpt from "The Song of Wandering Aengus" by William Butler Yeats. I went out to the hazel wood, Because a fire was in my head, And cut and peeled a hazel wand, And hooked a berry to a thread; Which pattern describes the rhyme scheme of this stanza?

what

Explanation:

Even without the options, it is possible to answer this question by simply analyzing the rhyme scheme.

The rhyme scheme of this particular excerpt is: XAXA

Explanation:

When analyzing the rhyme scheme of a poem, we attribute a letter to the final word of each line. If the words rhyme, then they receive the same letter. If they do not rhyme, we can give them different letters or simply place an X to make it clear.

I went out to the hazel wood, X

Because a fire was in my head, A

And cut and peeled a hazel wand, X

And hooked a berry to a thread; A

Since "wood" and "wand" do not rhyme with one another nor with any other word in the excerpt, they receive X just to make that clear. On the other hand, "head" and "thread" rhyme with each other, so they both receive A. Therefore, the pattern in XAXA.

  The correct answer to this question is C. XAXA.

Hope this helps, and have a wonderful day! :)

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
