Solution

failed
Answer

The answer is C. AABB

Explanation
Option A: ABBA

This option suggests that the first and fourth lines rhyme, and the second and third lines rhyme. However, in the poem, "cow" and "anyhow" rhyme, as do "one" and "one," which does not fit the ABBA pattern.

Option B: BAAB

This option suggests that the second and third lines rhyme, and the first and fourth lines rhyme. This does not match the rhyme scheme of the poem.

Option C: AABB

This option suggests that the first two lines rhyme with each other, and the last two lines rhyme with each other. In the poem, "cow" (line 1) rhymes with "anyhow" (line 3), and "one" (line 2) rhymes with "one" (line 4), fitting the AABB pattern.

Option D: 4 A 6

This option does not represent a standard rhyme scheme and does not apply to the poem.
