Eddy finds a friend

To analyze the poem, let’s look at the lines and their syllable counts, as well as the rhyming structure:

1. This how I dance— (5 syllables)

2. not the way you groove. (5 syllables)

3. If you get a chance, (5 syllables)

4. you need to improve. (5 syllables)

5. Don't feel so uptight. (5 syllables)

6. What do you have to fear? (6 syllables)

7. Dancing is so right. (5 syllables)

8. You'll fit in right here. (5 syllables)

9. Just feel the air and, (5 syllables)

10. sway the way it flows. (5 syllables)

11. Come to see my band, (5 syllables)

12. learn what Eddy knows. (5 syllables)

Now, let's evaluate the statements:

A. No lines in the poem have the same number of syllables.

• This is false. Most lines have 5 syllables, while line 6 has 6 syllables.

B. Line 1 of the poem rhymes with line 2 of the second stanza.

• Line 1 ("This how I dance—") does not rhyme with line 2 of the second stanza ("sway the way it flows"). This is false.

C. Line 1 of the poem rhymes with line 4 of the first stanza.

• Line 1 ("This how I dance—") does not rhyme with line 4 ("you need to improve"). This is false.

D. Except line 6, each line has the same number of syllables.

• This is true. All lines except line 6 have 5 syllables.

Therefore, the true statement is:

D. Except line 6, each line has the same number of syllables.
