Question

On either side the river lie

Long fields of barley and of rye, 


That clothe the wold and meet the sky; 
And through the field the road runs by
     To many-towered Camelot
And up and down the people go, 
Gazing where the lilies blow
Round an island there below, 
The island of Shalott. (“The Lady of Shalott”; lines 1–9)

C)a, a, a, a, b, c, c, c, b

Looking at the ending word from each line will help explain what the rhyme scheme is. The first line gets assigned an A, and then every line that rhymes with that also gets an A. This is true for lines 1-4 (lie, rye, sky, by). As soon as the rhyme changes (Line 5: Camelot), it gets assigned a B. Lines 6-8 rhyme with each other getting a C (go, blow, below), and then the last line (Shalott) rhymes with Line 5 so it gets a B.
