Answer:

<em>Light</em> and<em> weight</em>

<em />

Explanation:

Unlike the perfect rhyme, where both the consonants and vowels at the end of words rhyme completely, the slant rhyme is a type of rhyme where words end in similar, but not identical sounds.

In most cases, words that form the slant rhyme end in identical consonants and different vowels. We can notice this in the given poem as well. Words <em>light </em>and <em>weight</em> end in the same consonant (sound expressed by the combination of letters <em>ght</em>), but different vowels (sounds expressed by letters <em>i</em> and <em>ei</em>). This is why these words create a slant rhyme.

The rest of the words rhyme completely.

HEY! <br> What part of a kid’s movie completely scarred you?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Hi! Do you mean any children’s movie? If so then I was always scared of those. In the movie the Poler Express, I got SUPER scared because he got on a train and went to the north pole without his parents permission. I was also scared of all the Disney movies because they were animated. Hope this helps!

What kind of figurative language is in, Then Haste Thee, time-- 'tis kindness all... Thou fliest and bear'st away our woes?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

It is indeed hyperbole and not personification. <u>this is because the poet is asking Time to take away all his woes and laying the weight of wings of kindness on it.</u>

Explanation:

<u>Hyperbole is when a simple act is laden with something blown out of proportion</u>. here, the simple passage of time is said by the poet to be responsible for taking away his problems through its kindness, when the time is passing irrespective of his woes and does nothing else but pass.

it would have been personification if the winged feet of time in the quotation given, did not speed because of kindness. <u>the human qualities are laid on time by the poet and are not presented as a foregone conclusio</u>n. hence, it is more accurate to see this as hyperbole.
