    Which word completes the rhyme: "I don't mind eels / Except as meals / And the way they"?

    • Tales

    • Feels

    • Gels

    • Smells

    Correct Answer
    A. Feels
    Explanation
    The word "feels" completes the rhyme because it maintains the rhyming pattern of the previous lines. The rhyme scheme is AABB, with the first two lines ending in "eels" and "meals," so it makes sense for the third line to end in a word that rhymes with them. "Feels" is the only option that rhymes with "eels" and fits the context of the sentence, making it the correct answer.

    Correct Answer
    A. King
    Explanation
    The word "King" completes the rhyme because it rhymes with "Beijing" and fits the rhythm of the sentence. The other options, Earl, Duke, and Prince, do not rhyme with "Beijing" and would not create a cohesive rhyme.

    • By The Chimney

This is a traditional Christmas practice where stockings are hung by the fireplace in anticipation of Santa Claus filling them with gifts. The chimney is mentioned in the poem as the place where Santa Claus enters the house to deliver presents, so it makes sense for the stockings to be hung nearby.

    • His Pail

    Correct Answer
    A. His Crown
    Explanation
    In the nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill," Jack is said to have broken his crown. This refers to a figurative crown, not a literal one. The term "crown" here symbolizes his head or skull, indicating that Jack fell and injured himself, possibly resulting in a head injury.

    Correct Answer
    A. He Called For His Fiddlers Three
    Explanation
    After the line "He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl, and", the next line is "He called for his fiddlers three". This is the correct answer because it follows the pattern of the previous lines, where the subject of the sentence (he) calls for different objects. The repetition of the phrase "he called for" suggests a continuation of this pattern, and the mention of "his fiddlers three" fits with the theme of calling for different things.
