From “The Chimney-Sweeper” by William Blake
When my mother died I was very young,
And my father sold me while yet my tongue
Could scarcely cry “Weep! weep! weep! weep!”
4 So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep .
There’s little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head,
That curled like a lamb’s back, was shaved; so I said,
“Hush, Tom! never mind it, for, when your head’s bare,
You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair.”
Which is an example of end rhyme from the poem?
bare/hair
said/bare
sleep/head
young/weep
I think it's A or B...
What does it mean to rhyme? The sounds of the words have to match. Which of these pairs of words have similar sounds? Do "sleep" and "head" sound alike at all?

Yes, it's A. Good for you!
To identify an example of end rhyme from the poem, we need to look for words at the end of lines that have similar sounds. End rhyme occurs when the last words in two or more lines of a poem rhyme with each other.
Let's look at the options given:
1. bare/hair: These words do not appear at the end of any lines in the excerpt, so they are not an example of end rhyme.
2. said/bare: The word "bare" appears at the end of line 13, and the word "said" appears at the end of line 12, so this is an example of end rhyme.
3. sleep/head: The word "head" appears at the end of line 6, and the word "sleep" does not appear at the end of any lines in the excerpt, so this is not an example of end rhyme.
4. young/weep: The word "weep" appears at the end of line 3, and the word "young" does not appear at the end of any lines in the excerpt, so this is not an example of end rhyme.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
said/bare
