Stooping, plucking, sighing, flying;
Parched the flowers they bear along.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C.

This poem by Emily Dickinson has two types of rhyme:

Internal rhyme is the one that occurs withing the same line of a verse. An example of this is: "Stooping, plucking, sighing, flying;"

Slant rhyme is a rhyme in which the stressed syllables of ending consonants match even if the preceding vowel sounds do not. Examples of this are the words: among and along.

Answer 2

I would say the correct answer is C) there is an internal rhyme and slant rhyme.
Internal rhyme is sighing: flying, whereas the slant rhyme is among:along.
