Question

select the correct answer. what type of rhyme is used in this excerpt from william butler yeatss poem \the municipal gallery revisited\? my mediaeval knees lack health until they bend, but in that woman, in that household where honour had lived so long, all lacking found. childless i thought, my children may find here deep - rooted things, but never foresaw its end, and now that end has come i have not wept; no fox can foul the lair the badger swept -- a. strict rhyme b. internal rhyme c. double rhyme d. slant rhyme

Explanation:

Internal rhyme occurs when a word within a line rhymes with another word in the same line or in another line. In the given excerpt, "bend" in the first - line and "where" in the second line is an example of internal rhyme. There is no strict pattern of end - rhymes (so not strict rhyme), no double syllable rhymes (so not double rhyme), and the rhymes are not slant (imperfect) rhymes as the sounds match closely within the lines.

Answer:

B. internal rhyme
