Question

Which line contains the best example of assonance? A. “They made her a grave too cold and damp” B. “She paddles her white canoe” C. “And her fire-fly lamp I soon shall see” D. “Where all night long, by a fire-fly lamp”

Answer 1

An assonance is a "the repetition of vowel sounds to create internal rhyming within phrases or sentences, and together with alliteration and consonance serves as one of the building blocks of verse. Assonance does not have to be a rhyme; the identity of which depends merely on sequence of both vowel and consonant sounds. Thus, assonance is a resemblance of units that are generally less than a syllable."


So the right answer would be "A" because "cold" and "damp" is the assonance in that sentence stating: "They made a grave too cold and damp."
