  1. Panthers in the park / Strangers in the dark / No, they don’t frighten me at all. The words that rhyme are park and dark since they have the same ending sound "-ark".

    2. The goose, lions, and little girls are the same, they make her laugh. As the poem goes, the speaker says "I go boo/ make them shoo/ I make fun/ Way they run/. She's not afraid of them at all, instead, she fought back and made them run away. 

    3. In the poem, "the walrus and the carpenter", they offered the oysters to walk with them and said only four of them could come, this lured more oysters to go with them. But their motive was really to gather as many oysters so they could eat them.

    4. There are 4 stressed syllables in "The sea was wet as wet could be" and 3 stressed syllables in "The sands were dry as dry".

    5. a. The dismal news was welcomed by everyone. This is incorrect since dismal means bad news.
