The rhyme scheme in the following lines should be labeled in what way?

"When war winged its wide desolations,
And threatened the land to deform,
The ark then of freedom's foundation,
Columbia, rode safe through the storm;"

Baab

Baba

Abba

Abab

D) ABAB

Explanation:

The rhyme scheme, basically, shows us the pattern by which final words in every line end.

If we mark the last word of the first line (desolations) with A, we will then use the same letter for all the other lines that end with word that rhymes with this one.

Next line ends with the word "deform'. Since it doesn't rhyme with the previous line, we mark it with another letter, B.

Next line ends with "foundation" so we will mark it again A, because it rhymes with the first line.

Finally, the word "storm" rhymes with "deform" so we'll mark it with the same letter.

That means that the mark for rhyme scheme here is ABAB.
