Question

question 9 (multiple choice worth 2 points) (05.03 mc) read the excerpt from \annabel lee\ by edgar allan poe. then, answer the question that follows. for the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams of the beautiful annabel lee; and the stars never rise, but i feel the bright eyes of the beautiful annabel lee; which sound device is illustrated in the bolded text? ○ alliteration ○ internal rhyme ○ onomatopoeia ○ slant rhyme

Explanation:

To determine the sound device, we analyze each option:

• Alliteration: Repetition of initial consonant sounds. The bolded words "beams" and "dreams", "rise" and "eyes" don't have repeated initial consonants.
• Internal rhyme: Rhyme within a line. In "beams...dreams" and "rise...eyes", the words rhyme within their respective lines (beams/dreams; rise/eyes), fitting internal rhyme.
• Onomatopoeia: Words imitating sounds. The bolded words don't imitate sounds.
• Slant rhyme: Near - rhyme (different consonants, same vowels or vice versa). Here, the rhymes are more exact, not slant.

Answer:

B. Internal rhyme
