In the first line, the words "shutter" and "flutter" are examples of rhyme scheme. They share the same ending sound, which is characteristic of rhyme. However, in a broader context of poetic devices specifically found in the same line, this could also be considered as internal rhyme since both words appear within the same line and rhyme with each other. Both responses could potentially be correct depending on how the question is interpreted, but "rhyme scheme" is more about the overarching pattern of rhymes in a poem, while "internal rhyme" focuses specifically on words that rhyme within a single line.
