1.Under a spreading chestnut tree
2.The village smithy stands;
3.The smith, a mighty man is he,
4.With large and sinewy hands;
5.And the muscles of his brawny arms
6.Are strong as iron bands.
7.His hair is crisp, and black, and long,
8.His face is like the tan;
9.His brow is wet with honest sweat,
10.He earns whate'er he can,
11.And looks the whole world in the face,
12.For he owes not any man.
13.Week in, week out, from morn till night,
14.You can hear his bellows blow;
15.You can hear him swing his heavy sledge
16.With measured beat and slow,
17.Like a sexton ringing the village bell,
18.When the evening sun is low

I agree with your answers.
You're welcome!
To find the answer to the first question, you need to identify the lines in the first stanza that rhyme. Rhyming lines have similar ending sounds. In this stanza, lines 1 and 3 rhyme with each other (chestnut tree and mighty man is he), and lines 2, 4, and 6 rhyme with each other (stands, hands, and bands). So the correct option is a) lines 1 and 3; lines 2, 4, and 6.
To find the answer to the second question, you need to identify the line that appeals to the sense of sight. Sense of sight refers to visual imagery. Among the options given, line 9 (His brow is wet with honest sweat) appeals to the sense of sight by describing the appearance of the character's brow covered in sweat. Therefore, the correct option is a) line 9.
To find the answer to the third question, you need to identify the line that contains alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound at the beginning of neighboring words. In this case, line 3 (The smith, a mighty man is he) contains alliteration with the repetition of the "m" sound in "mighty" and "man." Thus, the correct option is a) line 3.
