An alternative pattern in blank verse in which two lines of iambic pentameter are rhymed is called:

B. a heroic couplet

Explanation:

A couplet can be defined as two successive lines that rhyme and present the same length. A heroic couplet, in its turn, is a couplet written in iambic pentameter.  Iambic pentameter is a five-time repetition of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one.

Heroic couplets are traditional in English poetry, both in epic and narrative poetry. Its use was pioneered by Geoffrey Chaucer in the "Legend of Good Women" and the "Canterbury Tales".

hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.
