But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust spoke only (from "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe)

Internal rhyme is when two words rhyme in the same line. In this line from "The Raven" the words lonely and only rhyme. It is a strict internal rhyme scheme because there is the same rhythm and number of syllables from the start of the line to lonely as there is from just after lonely to only. Dickinson's line "The eyes beside had wrung them dry" has three words with the same long I sound (eyes, beside, dry) but there doesn't appear to be a strict pattern and they don't actually rhyme so this is alliteration. In Thomas's "Ceremony After a Fire Raid" the short i sound is also repeated but the words do not rhyme either.

B) But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust spoke only (from "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe)

Explanation: a rhyme is a similarity of sound between words or the endings of words. An internal rhyme is a rhyme involving a word in the middle of a line and another at the end of the line or in the middle of the next. From the given options, the one that contains a strict internal rhyme scheme is the corresponding to option B, where the word "lonely" in the middle of the line, rhymes with "only" which is at the end of the line.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
