Question

question 9 of 10
what is slant rhyme?

a. words that have the same vowels but no other sounds in common

b. words that rhyme but do not necessarily appear at the ends of a
poems lines

c. words that do not rhyme but appear at the ends of the lines in a
metrical poem

d. words that sound similar but do not share both an ending vowel
and consonant

Explanation:

Slant rhyme, also called half rhyme or near rhyme, is a poetic device where words have similar but not identical end sounds. Unlike perfect rhymes that match both final vowel and consonant sounds, slant rhymes only approximate that similarity, which matches the description in option D. The other options are incorrect: A describes a different sound relationship, B refers to the placement of rhymes not the type, and C describes non-rhyming line endings rather than slant rhymes.

Answer:

D. Words that sound similar but do not share both an ending vowel and consonant
