Question

If the poet wanted to add a rhyme scheme to the stanza, which of the following line pairs
could BEST fit while maintaining the reflective tone? (Select TWO Answer Choices)

Group of answer choices

No gale can hush its quiet tune, That echoes softly under moon.

Through storm or calm it still will sing, Its steady notes awakening.

It falters when the nigh grows deep, And fades into the hush of sleep.

Its feather droop, its song is done, No light remains beneath the sun.

Answer 1

Choices 1 ("No gale can hush its quiet tune / That echoes softly under moon.") and 3 ("It falters when the nigh[t] grows deep / And fades into the hush of sleep.").

Reason: both pairs use gentle, contemplative imagery and soft end-rhymes that preserve a reflective mood. Choice 2 is more resilient/active in tone, and 4 feels final and darker, so they fit less well.
