Thank you, so very much!!

You're welcome.

You don't even really have to read it to know. Just look at the pattern of lines!

3 sets of 4 lines each (= 12 lines = 3 quatrains)
2 lines (couplet) set off at the end

Each of the quatrains has its own rhyme scheme.
The couplet at the end rhymes separately, too.

=)

Yes, that is correct. The characteristic unique to Shakespearean sonnets that is found in "Sonnet 29," "Sonnet 116," and "Sonnet 130" is that they all consist of three quatrains and a rhyming couplet. This structure is known as the Shakespearean sonnet, or the English sonnet. The quatrains typically present the main idea or argument of the poem, while the final rhyming couplet often provides a concluding statement or resolution. So, option A is the correct answer.
