from “Silkweed”
by Philip Henry Savage
1 Softly, as if instinct with thought,
2 They float and drift, delay and turn;
3 And one avoids and one is caught,
4 Between an oak-leaf and a fern.

To determine which lines from the excerpt rhyme with each other, we need to identify the end sounds of the lines. Rhyme is when words or syllables have a similar sound at the end. Let's take a closer look at the excerpt:
1 Softly, as if instinct with thought,
2 They float and drift, delay and turn;
3 And one avoids and one is caught,
4 Between an oak-leaf and a fern.
Based on the end sounds, we can see that lines 2 and 4 share a similar sound. The words "turn" and "fern" rhyme with each other. Therefore, the correct answer is:
B. lines 2 and 4 only
