Question 2 • MO-English Language Arts 9 B-CR

Which sound device are the words morrow, borrow, and sorrow examples of? | Why does the speaker repeat the word sorrow? | What mood do these sound devices create?

Answer
A
to explain why Lenore is suddenly gone
B
to show he is angry that Lenore has left
C
to highlight his feelings about the lost Lenore

Explanation

“Morrow,” “borrow,” and “sorrow” rhyme because they share the same ending sound. Repeating “sorrow” emphasizes the speaker’s grief over Lenore, so the sound devices create a mournful, sad mood. Choice C best matches this: the repetition highlights his feelings about the lost Lenore.
