Answer:

The type of rhyme which appears in the above lines from Emily Dickinson's poem "Angels in the Early Morning" is:

c. internal rhyme and slant rhyme

Step-by-step explanation:

When the words rhyme in the same sentence, it is said to be internal rhyme.

For example, "Stooping, plucking, sighing, flying"

When two words rhyme only in a vowel or consonant sound, they are known as slant rhyme.

For example, "among" and "along".
