Answer 1

To determine the rhyme scheme of the stanza provided, let's look at the end sounds of each line:

1. The wind is a howl, (A)
2. rumble and growl. (A)
3. The lightbulbs flicker, (B)
4. the clouds, now thicker. (B)
5. A storm is on the prowl. (A)

Now, we can label the end sounds:

• "howl" and "growl" rhyme (A)
• "flicker" and "thicker" do not rhyme with each other but both rhyme with "prowl" (B)

Putting this together, we have:

• AABBA

So the correct option is:

AABBA
