Question

read the following lines from a poem and then answer the question. \on yuba city\ by john rollin ridge the yuba city silent stands where providence has placed her, the glorys passed to other hands, that should by right have graced her. she stands with aspect sad but high, and gazes on the river, that like a stranger passes by, and nothing has to give her. which type of rhyme is evident in the bolded words? slant rhyme end rhyme internal rhyme close rhyme

Explanation:

Internal rhyme occurs when words rhyme within a single line of poetry. In the given lines, the bolded words ("stands", "hands", "high", "by") are not at the end of the lines (so not end - rhyme), and they are not slant rhymes (which have a near - rhyme). Also, they are not close rhymes (a less common and not the case here). The words "stands" and "hands" are within the first stanza's lines, and "high" and "by" are within the second stanza's lines, fitting the definition of internal rhyme.

Answer:

internal rhyme
