    isnt it

    Answer:

    C. "But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, / And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,"

    &

    C. The rhyme gives the poem an even rhythm and maintains the tension.

    Explanation:

    1. None of the other options give as much tension as these lines do. The anticipation and reptition of the lines intensify the action of approaching a chamber door.

    2. I feel as though the other options don't quite work as well as this one. A rhyme doesnt necessarily make a poem easier to remember, lines that are more 'significant' is just subjective, and each rhyme doesnt necessarily end an idea.
