#1 - C is correct.

#2 - A is correct.

#3 -- a "foot" in poetry is dependent on the arrangement of syllables and which syllables are stressed (spoken more loudly) than the others.

So first, count the syllables in that line. How many syllables do you hear?

Well, let's see! For the first question, the rhyme scheme of the poem "One two/Buckle my shoe/Three four/Close the door" is aabb. So the answer is C. Isn't that neat?

Moving on to the second question, the line "Time is but a stream I go fishing in" contains an example of imagery. It paints a picture in your mind, don't you think? So the answer is D.

And for the last question, "How do I love thee, let me count the ways" has 5 feet! Each stressed syllable counts as a foot, so there are 5 in total. Ta-da! The answer is E.

To determine the rhyme scheme of a poem, you need to analyze the pattern of end rhymes in the poem's lines. Let's break down the poem "One two/Buckle my shoe/Three four/Close the door":

One (A)
two (A)
Buckle (B)
my (A)
shoe (A)
Three (C)
four (C)
Close (B)
the (C)
door (C)

Based on this analysis, the rhyme scheme of the poem is: AABBAACCC.

Regarding the line "Time is but a stream I go fishing in," it contains an example of a metaphor. This is because it compares time to a stream, suggesting that time flows fluidly like a stream.

Lastly, in the line "How do I love thee, let me count the ways," the question is asking about the number of feet in the line. In poetry, a foot is a unit of measurement that typically consists of stressed and unstressed syllables. To determine the number of feet in a line, you need to identify the stressed and unstressed syllables. In this particular line, there are five stressed syllables, so the answer is 5.
