Question

which poetic element do the words ago and know reflect? (1 point) ○ consonance ○ alliteration ○ internal rhyme ○ assonance

Explanation:

To determine the poetic element, we analyze the sounds of "ago" and "know". Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within words. In "ago" (vowel sound \(/əʊ/\) or \(/oʊ/\)) and "know" (vowel sound \(/əʊ/\) or \(/oʊ/\)), the vowel sounds are repeated. Consonance is repetition of consonant sounds, alliteration is repetition of initial consonant sounds, and internal rhyme is rhyme within a line (not just vowel repetition here). So the correct element is assonance.

Answer:

D. assonance (assuming the options are labeled A - D as: A. consonance, B. alliteration, C. internal rhyme, D. assonance)
