What type of rhyme is used in this excerpt from William Butler Yeats's poem "The Municipal Gallery Revisited"? My mediaeval knee
Arlecino [84]
Hello, the answer here would be "slant rhyme". It cannot be a "strict rhyme" because it is not strict, the rhyme changes throughout the poem, it doesn't follow the same scheme. It isn't "internal rhyme" as well, because the words don't rhyme within a single line. It isn't a "double rhyme" because these are all monosyllabic words (one syllable) and for it to be a double rhyme there needs to be at least to syllables in a word. So the only option is "slant rhyme", which isn't exactly rhyming, for example, "dear" and "door" would be considered slant rhyme.

Why has roosevelt used words that suggested an unbending point of view ?<br>​
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:Words are used to convince, persuade, or empower. During World War II, Roosevelt came up with the idea of the four freedoms to include in his 1941 State of the Union address or better known as the ‘Four Freedoms Speech’. He proposed the fundamental freedom principles that people all over the world must enjoy: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. Through this, he gained majority of the people’s support in America’s involvement in the world war. His choice of words and ability to stir up the American spirit to fight for freedom shows that he is a leader of democracy.

Explanation: there
