Read the original poem fragment. 1. The beggar's melody fell 2. through the market's heated air; 3. buyers pressed copper cents 4. into his weathered shell. Which answer gives the strongest passage-based analysis of assonance?
A
It confuses assonance with consonance by focusing on final consonant sounds instead of shared vowel sounds.
B
The shared short e in "beggar's," "melody," "fell," and "cents" works as assonance, linking the market's muted response to the song to a plaintive, descending sound rather than merely decorating the lines.
C
It limits the pattern to end rhyme, missing the internal echoes that connect words across the lines.
D
It draws an unsupported claim that the speaker's conflict is fully resolved by the end of the passage.
