Question
select the correct text in the passage.
which words in this excerpt from \theres a certain slant of light\ by emily dickinson create a slant rhyme?
theres a certain slant of light,
on winter afternoons,
that oppresses, like the weight
of cathedral tunes.
heavenly hurt it gives us;
we can find no scar,
but internal difference
where the meanings are.
Slant rhyme (near rhyme) involves words with similar but not identical vowel/consonant sounds. "Afternoons" (/ˌɑːftəˈnuːnz/) and "tunes" (/tuːnz/) share the ending /uːnz/ sound (a near match, not perfect rhyme), while "scar" (/skɑː(r)/) and "are" (/ɑː(r)/) share the ending /ɑː(r)/ sound, forming slant rhymes.
