Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

A Shakespearean sonnet is also called an English sonnet. It has \(14\) lines. These \(14\) lines are divided into three quatrains and one final couplet. A quatrain has four lines. A couplet has two lines. The rhyme scheme of a Shakespearean sonnet is: \[ ABAB\ CDCD\ EFEF\ GG. \] The final rhyming couplet usually gives a conclusion, twist, or summary of the sonnet. Therefore, the correct rhyme scheme is: \[ ABAB,\ CDCD,\ EFEF,\ GG. \]
