Question 11 • ARC English 10 Semester 2 CR/Summer

Which words are an example of slant rhyme?

Answer
A
“hear” and “near”
B
“swamp” and “damp”
C
“fen” and “feeds”
D
“warm” and “true”

Explanation

Slant rhyme happens when words have similar, but not identical, sounds. “Swamp” and “damp” share a similar vowel sound and the ending consonant sound, though their final sound combinations are not exactly the same. “Hear” and “near” rhyme fully, while “fen” and “feeds” and “warm” and “true” do not have close enough sound matches.
