Question

Which pair of words in this excerpt from Emily Dickinson's "I Felt a Funeral in My Brain" exhibit slant rhyme?

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and FRO
Kept treading – treading – till it seemed
That Sense was breaking THROUGH–

And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a DRUM –
Kept beating – beating – till I thought
My mind was going NUMB –

And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my SOUL
With those same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space – began to TOLL,

The words with the big letters are the choices

Answer 1

I would say FRO and THROUGH, because through is said differently then when you're rhyming with FRO, if I could say it outlaid it would make more sense :P but I hope this helps! 

Answer 2

Fro and Through

Slant rhyme is when the words do not have perfect rhyme. They could have a similar sound, but it's not identical. Sometimes a reader must alter the pronunciation of the words slightly to create the similar sound. In the poem, fro has a long /o/ sound and through has the sound /oo/. These are not identical, but can be similar if pronounced a certain way.
