Answer 2

The correct answer is D: slant rhyme.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines 2 and 4 from Emily Dickinson's poem "Because I could not stop for death" are an example of slant rhyme.

Slant rhyme or an imperfect rhyme is a type of rhyme where we create the rhyme by using words that contain similar sounds.

It's a rhyme where the stressed syllables of ending consonants match, however, the preceding vowel sounds do not match.

The rhyme scheme of this poem is: ABCB.
