Question

select the correct text in the passage. which two words from \the raven\ by edgar allan poe are examples of internal rhyme? presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, \sir,\ said i, \or madam, truly your forgiveness i implore; but the fact is i was napping, and so gently you came rapping, and so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, that i scarce was sure i heard you\—here i opened wide the door:— darkness there and nothing more. deep into that darkness peering, long i stood there wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before; but the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token, and the only word there spoken was the whispered word, \lenore?\ this i whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, \lenore.\ merely this and nothing more.

Explanation:

Internal rhyme occurs when a word in the middle of a line rhymes with another word in the same line or in a nearby line. In the given passage from "The Raven", "implore" and "door" are an example of internal rhyme as the vowel - sound and the ending sound match. Also, "more" and "peering" (the ending sound 'r' is part of the rhyme scheme in a looser sense here) can be considered as another example.

Answer:

implore, door; more, peering
