Answer

Brief Explanations:

In poetry, words rhyme when they have the same ending sound. Looking at the second stanza, "alarm" ends with the sound /ɑːm/. Checking the options:

  • "be" (/biː/) and "sea" (/siː/) do not have the /ɑːm/ sound.
  • "light" (/laɪt/) and "night" (/naɪt/) have the /aɪt/ sound, not /ɑːm/.
  • "farm" (/fɑːm/) and "arm" (/ɑːm/) have the same ending sound as "alarm".

Answer:

"farm" and "arm"
