Which two consecutive lines from the poem contain a slant rhyme?

the wood pile
by robert frost
out walking in the frozen swamp one grey day
i paused and said, "i will turn back from here.
no, i will go on fartherā€”and we shall see."
the hard snow held me, save where now and then
5 one foot went down. the view was all in lines
straight up and down of tall slim trees
too much alike to mark or name a place by
so as to say for certain i was here
or somewhere else: i was just far from home.
10 a small bird flew before me. he was careful
to put a tree between us when he lighted,
and say no word to tell me who he was
who was so foolish as to think what he thought.
he thought that i was after him for a featherā€”
15 the white one in his tail; like one who takes
everything said as personal to himself.
one flight out sideways would have undeceived him.
and then there was a pile of wood for which
i forgot him and let his little fear
20 carry him off the way i might have gone,
without so much as wishing him good-night.
he went behind it to make his last stand.
it was a cord of maple, cut and split
and piledā€”and measured, four by four by eight.
25 and not another like it could i see.
no runner tracks in this year's snow looped near it.
and it was older sure than this year's cutting,
or even last year's or the year's before.
the wood was grey and the bark warping off it
30 and the pile somewhat sunken. clematis
had wound strings round and round it like a bundle.
what held it though on one side was a tree
still growing, and on one a stake and prop,
these latter about to fall. i thought that only
35 someone who lived in turning to fresh tasks
could so forget his handiwork on which
he spent himself, the labor of his axe,
and leave it there far from a useful fireplace
to warm the frozen swamp as best it could
40 with the slow smokeless burning of decay.

How can the rebuttal best address the counterclaim? read the claim and reason beginning in high school students should eam their own money by finding aher school employment. an aber school job seves not only as income, but as valuable experience for when students leave school for the workiorce. read the counterclaim and reason while having a source of income can certainly be a learning experience for high school students, they should maintain their focus on academics and extracurricular activities working atter school many experts agree, can lead to a decrease in school success which can then limit students' options when they enter the workforce the rebuttal should include examples of jobs that are available to students and the problems associated with those jobs the rebuttal should acknowledge that school remains a priority and discuss the benefits of a balance between school and work the rebuttal should address the need for a discussion on the matter by restating both points before reaching a conclusion the rebuttal should state a logical explanation for both opinions before granting credibility to the need for school to remain a priority
