1. internal rhyme 
2. end rhyme
3. alliteration
this is what i believe it to be 

Answer 2

FIRST TILE

"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness
I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and
so gently you came rapping,"

I underlined two words in the tile. Those two words represent a rhyme that is occurring a within the same line of the poem. This is a short definition of what an internal rhyme is. This proves…

Tile One → Internal Rhyme

SECOND TILE

"On the morrow he will leave me, as
my hopes have flown before." Then
the bird said, "Nevermore."

I underlined two words in the tile. Those two words are the last word of a line that rhymes with the last word of another line. This is a short definition of what an end rhyme is. This proves…

Tile Two → End Rhyme

THIRD TILE

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly
there came a tapping, As of some one
gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

I underlined four words in the tile. Those four words represent the lines have a repetition of the same or similar sounds at the beginning of words that are closely placed in lines. This is a short definition of what alliteration is. This proves…

Tile Three → Alliteration
