Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the test and I am sure these are the answers

1 is anaphora (I actually found this answer on bing)

2 is wicked (I had trouble finding the answer for this one)

3 is off-rhymes (My thanks to Xiaray)

4 is assonance (I found this in my lesson)

Well if you still don't believe me after this.... I guess I might as well give you the explanations from my test. Lol here they are:

1 Walt Whitman was the first American poet to rely extensively on this technique in poetry, though many poets use it today.

2 Both the sound and the meaning of this word suggest a sense of concern that there is evil around.

3 "Comb" and "on" do not rhyme exactly; nor do "seen" and "feet." However, the placement of these words at the ends of lines have a similar effect to regular rhymes.

4 The long e sound (ee) invokes the expression Eeeek! which humans sometimes say, spontaneously, when caught off-guard by something scary.

Here are the answers for those people like me who search for the answer they are looking for, and just can't find it
