read the excerpt from \sympathy\ by paul laurence dunbar. then, answer the question that follows.

and they pulse again with a keener sting—
i know why he beats his wing!

which sound device do the bolded words use?

○ alliteration
○ end rhyme
○ internal rhyme
○ onomatopoeia

Explanation:

1. Analyze each sound device:

• Alliteration: Repetition of initial consonant sounds. The bolded words "sting" and "wing" don't have the same initial consonant sound.
• End rhyme: Rhyme at the end of lines. Here, "sting" (end of first line) and "wing" (end of second line) rhyme at the end of their respective lines.
• Internal rhyme: Rhyme within a single line. These words are at the ends of different lines, not within a line.
• Onomatopoeia: Words that imitate sounds. "Sting" and "wing" don't imitate sounds.

1. Conclusion: The bolded words use end rhyme as they rhyme at the end of their lines.

Answer:

B. End rhyme
