Question

1. in which line of poetry does the author use rhyme to connect words and emphasize their meanings? fiona fretted and paced, and feared for the future. nathan was man of his word, and a man who came through. tanya climbed each rung of the corporate ladder, while those around her grew anxious and madder. lin watched and he listened until his senses were sharp, like dogs at the airport trained for special security.

Explanation:

• Fiona fretted and paced, and feared for the future: There is no rhyme.
• Nathan was man of his word, and a man who came through: "Word" and "through" do not rhyme.
• Tanya climbed each rung of the corporate ladder, while those around her grew anxious and madder: "Ladder" and "madder" rhyme. The repetition of the similar - sounding ending helps connect the ideas of Tanya's progress (climbing the corporate ladder) and the reaction of those around her (growing madder).
• Lin watched and he listened until his senses were sharp, like dogs at the airport trained for special security: There is no rhyme.

Answer:

Tanya climbed each rung of the corporate ladder, while those around her grew anxious and madder.
