Solution

Assonance and rhyme are both literary devices used in poetry and prose to add rhythm and musicality. However, they differ in the following ways:

  1. Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in nearby words. It is used to reinforce the meanings of words or to set the mood. For example, in the phrase "Hear the mellow wedding bells", the repetition of the 'e' sound is assonance.

  2. Rhyme, on the other hand, is the repetition of the same or similar sounds occurs in two or more words, usually at the end of lines in poems or songs. For example, in the nursery rhyme "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are", 'star' and 'are' rhyme.

So, the correct statement is: "Assonance shares only vowel sounds; rhyme shares both vowel and consonant sounds."
