Verified Answer :

Answer: the emphasis of words
through a change of pace

 Cadence in poetry refers to the
rising and the falling of the voice when reading a literary piece. Simply it
comes from the Latin word “cadentia” that means “a falling”, hence the reason
for its definition.  In poetry, it refers
to the pitch and rhythm of the literary piece.
Cadence also helps in the setting the rhythmic paces of literary pieces.
The imperfect and the perfect cadence are the two types of cadence.
