Answer 3

Slant rhyme, also called off-rhyme, near rhyme, or half rhyme is an imperfect or partial rhyme, usually using some consonance or assonance. So tend is a slant rhyme for bland, or tender for splendid. Slant rhyme not only increases the possibilities for rhyming opportunities, but is use to create unexpected effects, subtle aural surprises, and interesting variations of tone.
