Answer 2

C. End rhyme

Step-by-step explanation:

The end rhyme comprises the final word or syllables of the lines just like in the excerpt above with the words "young" and "tongue", as well with "weep" and "sleep". This type of rhyme either sound the same or are written the same, another example will be:

“Tyger Tyger, burning bright,

In the forests of the night;”

As can be observed, the end of the two lines sounds the same.
