Question

read the poem. the raven by edgar allan poe (1) once upon a midnight dreary, while i pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— while i nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, as of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door— which statement best describes the impact of poe’s use of both internal and end rhyme in this poem? each use of rhyme marks the end of a phrase or idea. the lines with internal rhyme are more significant than the lines that use only end rhyme. the rhyme gives the poem an even rhythm and maintains the tension. the rhyme makes the poem easier to remember.

Explanation:

Internal and end - rhyme in "The Raven" create a rhythmic pattern. This rhythm helps build and maintain the poem's suspenseful and tense atmosphere. Rhyme doesn't always mark the end of a phrase or idea. Lines with internal rhyme aren't inherently more significant than those with end - rhyme only. While rhyme can aid memory, its main function here is rhythm and tension.

Answer:

The rhyme gives the poem an even rhythm and maintains the tension.
