Answer 1

The answer is A. slant rhyme, dashes, and nonstandard capitalization.

Answer 2

The evidence in the excerpt reveals Dickinson’s style is:

A. slant rhyme, dashes, and nonstandard capitalization

Dickinson lines in the poem have not been written in perfect rhyme and hence are in slant rhyme. Nouns in the poem have been written in capitalized form. She uses such a technique in order to focus on the importance of the word in the poem. The dashes used in the poem makes the reader pause and focus on the words and phrases which the poet wants the reader to have a close look on. They also act as connectors which join the whole poem altogether.
