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

Yes, B.
To determine which lines in the second stanza rhyme, we need to identify the words that have similar sounds at the end. Let's examine the stanza:
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.
The end words of each line are as follows:
Line 7: long
Line 8: tan
Line 9: sweat
Line 10: can
Line 11: face
Line 12: man
To determine which lines rhyme, we need to find words that have the same ending sound.
In this case, lines 7, 9, and 11 end with words that rhyme - "long," "sweat," and "face." So the correct answer is:
C. Lines 7, 9, and 11 lines 8, 10, and 12
