Question

Which words in this excerpt from "There's a Certain Slant of Light" by Emily Dickinson create a slant rhyme?

There's a certain slant of light,
On winter afternoons,
That oppresses, like the weight
Of cathedral tunes.
Heavenly hurt it gives us;
We can find no scar,
But internal difference
Where the meanings are.

the answer is light and weight

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Light and weight

Step-by-step explanation:

Unlike the perfect rhyme, where both the consonants and vowels at the end of words rhyme completely, the slant rhyme is a type of rhyme where words end in similar, but not identical sounds.

In most cases, words that form the slant rhyme end in identical consonants and different vowels. We can notice this in the given poem as well. Words light and weight end in the same consonant (sound expressed by the combination of letters ght), but different vowels (sounds expressed by letters i and ei). This is why these words create a slant rhyme.

The rest of the words rhyme completely.
