'Rhyming Couplet' is characterized as 'two lines that rhyme with one another and are of the same length in order to offer an accomplished thought.'

rhyming couplet of Phillis Wheatley that demonstrates an inverted sentence could be:

C). “Whose silken fetters all the senses bind, And gentle captivity involves the thoughts.”

An inverted sentence is described as a sentence in which the verb occurs before the difficulty.

the first part of the rhyming couplet "Whose...thoughts" includes the predicate at the beginning of the sentence('whose...fetters') followed by using the noun/problem('all the senses').

therefore, it demonstrates an inverted sentence as the predicate takes place before the challenge in order to shift the emphasis on a particular detail of the sentence.

in my room, while I whittled away my youth

in jail cells and damp neighborhood fields.

It brought me to life, out of captivity,
