select the correct answer.
what type of rhyme appears in these lines from emily dickinsons poem \angels in the early morning\?
angels when the sun is hottest
may be seen the sands among,
stooping, plucking, sighing, flying;
parched the flowers they bear along.
a. internal rhyme
b. slant rhyme
c. internal rhyme and slant rhyme
d. internal rhyme, slant rhyme, and end rhyme

Explanation:

1. Internal Rhyme Check: In "Stooping, plucking, sighing, flying", words like "stooping" & "plucking" (or within the line, rhyming within a single line) show internal rhyme. Also, "among" and "along" have vowel sounds that are similar (slant rhyme), and internal rhyme is present in the line with the -ing words.
2. Slant Rhyme Check: "among" and "along" have similar but not identical rhymes (slant rhyme).
3. End Rhyme Check: The end words "among" and "along" are slant, but "hottest" and "flying" don't rhyme at the end, so end rhyme isn't a main feature here. So the lines have both internal (within "Stooping...flying") and slant (between "among" and "along") rhyme.

Answer:

C. internal rhyme and slant rhyme
