The answer is:  " assonance " .
________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________
           The answer is "assonance"— since there are repeated, nearby words with the same vowels that are internal (i.e. not at the beginning of the word, as in "alliteration") within words that are repeated and/or nearby.
        {This is the definition or description of "assonance".}. <span>
_______________________________________________________
        {Note that "alliteration" is not limited to nearby words with initial consonant sounds —but also refers to nearby words with repeated initial vowel sounds; such as:
   
   "Always avoid annoying alliteration."  }.
____________________________________________________
    Furthermore, in "assonance", the vowel sounds do NOT have to be in within the FIRST syllable of each of the words—nor do the vowel sounds in repeated, nearby words HAVE to be within the SAME SYLLABLES;  rather, this just happens to be the case in the actual question being asked.
________________________________________________________ 
     Specifically, in the example provided:
________________________________________________________
        "The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain."    ;
______________________________________________
          the words:  "rain", "Spain", "mainly", "stays", "mainly", "plain" ;  are words that are very close together with the same vowel sound of the "long 'a' "  ;   providing examples of "assonance".
____________________________________________________
 Hope this explanation—though lengthy—is of some help!

You need to find___from the text in order to make a prediction
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

You need to find <u>clues</u> from the text in order to make a prediction.

Explanation:

When we're reading a book, we can often catch ourselves wondering about what's going to happen next and trying to predict different things, such as what the book will be about, what the author is trying to tell us, what would happen next at the end of the book if it were to continue, etc.

Predicting requires us to:

  • find and use clues within the text, and
  • use what we already know from personal experience or knowledge.
