To determine which structural element is used in the poem provided, we need to analyze its meter and form.
1. **Meter**: The poem consists of two lines:
- "I did explore" (trochee)
- "it was so much fun" (trochee)
- "but now the day is done" (trochaic meter)
Each line contains three beats (or metric feet), which aligns with trochaic trimeter.
2. **Form**: The poem does not fit the definition of a sonnet, which typically has 14 lines and a specific rhyme scheme. There is a rhyme scheme present (fun/done), but it is not consistent with more formal structures or a "rytheme scheme."
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is **A. trochaic trimeter**.
