Which term refers to the correspondence of sound between words or the endings of words?

Alliteration
Rhyme
Assonance
Meter

The correct answer is: Rhyme

The term that refers to the correspondence of sound between words or the endings of words is indeed rhyme. Rhyme occurs when two or more words have similar ending sounds, which is particularly important in poetry and song lyrics as it creates rhythm and enhances the aesthetic quality of the text. Rhyme can also aid in memorization and can help convey emotions or themes. Alliteration, on the other hand, involves the repetition of initial consonant sounds in closely positioned words, which emphasizes a certain feeling or mood but does not relate to the ending sounds. Assonance refers to the repetition of vowel sounds within words close to each other, creating internal rhyming within a phrase. Meter refers to the structured rhythm of a poem, determined by the patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables, and does not specifically address sound correspondence between words.
