Read the lines from Act I, scene v of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo: [To JULIET.] If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this; My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. Juliet: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss. Which statement about the structure of these lines is true

This question is missing the answer options. I have found the complete question online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:

Which statement about the structure of these lines is true?

A. Juliet's lines make up one couplet, which uses an  abab rhyme scheme.

B. Juliet's lines make up one stanza, which uses an  aabb rhyme scheme.

C. Romeo's lines make up one quatrain, which uses an  abab rhyme scheme.

D. Romeo's lines make up one sonnet, which uses an  aabb rhyme scheme.

Answer:

The statement which is true about the lines is:

C. Romeo's lines make up one quatrain, which uses an  abab rhyme scheme.

Explanation:

A quatrain is nothing more than a stanza formed by four lines in a poem. Romeo's lines are indeed four, so we have a quatrain. Now, let's take a look at the rhyme scheme:

If I profane with my unworthiest hand A

This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this; B

My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand A

To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. B

As we can see above, the rhyme scheme is ABAB. The final word "hand" in line one rhymes with "stand" in line three. The final word "this" in line two rhymes with "kiss" in line 4.

Having that in mind, we can choose letter C as the best option:

C. Romeo's lines make up one quatrain, which uses an  abab rhyme scheme.
