Answer and explanation

A description of recurring end-sound relationships, often represented with letters. The unit case offers this example to examine: The short statements isolate an attempted erasure and its incomplete result, allowing the contrast to stand out. Openings uses recurring rhyme but has twelve lines; rhyme alone does not make it a fourteen-line sonnet. A formal analysis should connect an actual pattern with its effect rather than assigning a genre from one feature. Identify the wording or choice that fits the term. A different accurate example is acceptable.

Use the model to discuss reasoning after an independent attempt. A different accurate supported response can be correct; written work needs human marking.
