Answer:

Letter b. The rhythm changes on the phrase "bore her away from me," emphasizing Poe’s desire to be reunited is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Annabel Lee was written by American poet and short-story writer Edgar Allan Poe; the poem expresses the speaker's feelings towards the fact that he and Annabel Lee are not together anymore.

Rhythm is a rhetorical device that demonstrates the patterns in a poem and how the syllables are stressed in a line, stanza, or the whole poem. In the one written by Poe, the rhythm helps show that the speaker wants to be together once again with Annabel Lee, which can be seen lines below, when he says "And neither the Angels in heaven above/Not the demons down under the sea/Can ever dissever my soul from the soul/Of the beautiful Annabel Lee."

Answer: (C) The rhythm changes on the words “chilling” and “sepulchre,” emphasizing Poe’s complaint about unexpected death.
