Multiple Choice
How many lines in the poem "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost both end and start with a voiced/voiceless sound?
"Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice."

THE GREAT VOWEL SHIFT

please - pleasant
- At first: the vowels in this pair were pronounced the same [eː]
- Early Middle English Vowel Shortening rule:
[eː] to [e]
- Great Vowel Shift: [eː] of please changing into [iː]
