Read these lines from philip freneau's the "indian burying ground" and answer the question.
in spite of all the learned have said,
i still my old opinion keep;
the posture that we give the dead,
points out the soul's eternal sleep.

and venison, for a journey dressed,
bespeak the nature of the soul,

the rhyme scheme of these lines is
rhymed couplets
free verse
irregular rhyme

The right answer is the A: rhymed couplets. A rhymed (or rhyming) couplet consists of two lines of the same length that rhyme and that, put together, create a specific idea or thought. They make the poems more engaging and lively. In the first stanza of Freneau's poem, the word "said" rhymes with "dead" while the word "keep" rhymes with "sleep," so the rhyme scheme is ABAB. The author kept the same scheme throughout the entire poem.
