Explain the difference between a perfect rhyme (or full rhyme) and a slant rhyme (or near rhyme). Give an example of each.

A perfect rhyme occurs when the vowel sound and all subsequent sounds are identical in two words, such as 'cat' and 'hat'. A slant rhyme (or near rhyme) occurs when the words share similar but not identical sounds, often just the vowel sound or the consonant sound, creating an imperfect but still noticeable rhyme. An example of a slant rhyme is 'soul' and 'all', where the vowel sounds are similar but the ending consonants differ.
