Select the correct text in the passage.
Which pair of lines in William Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 uses slant rhyme?

ANSWERS ARE MARKED WITH -...-

-Let me not to the marriage of true minds -
-Admit impediments. Love is not love -
-Which alters when it alteration finds,-
-Or bends with the remover to remove:-
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
-Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks -
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
-Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,-
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error, and upon me prov'd,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.

Answer:

"Admit impediments. Love is not love"

"Or bends with the remover to remove"

Step-by-step explanation:

Slant rhythm is essentially when a poet uses two words that sound really similar, but they don't not exactly rhyme with each other.

Look for a pair of lines that are like that:

"Admit impediments. Love is not love"

"Or bends with the remover to remove"

Here, we see the words "love" and "remove"; obviously, we know that they don't exactly rhyme, but they are relatively close enough both in sound and spelling. So, this pair is the answer.
