Let’s go step by step to match each definition with the correct word from the Word Box.

Word Box:
end rhymes, drama, dialog, narration, internal rhymes, act or scene, stanza

Now look at each definition one by one:

1. “Occur at the end of each line” → This is end rhymes. Rhyming words that happen at the ends of lines in poetry.

2. “Written to be performed on stage for an audience” → That’s drama. Plays are written to be acted out live.

3. “Talking or conversation between two or more characters” → That’s dialog. Characters speaking to each other.

4. “Used to describe the setting of a scene” → In plays and stories, this is often done through narration — someone describing what’s happening or where things are.

5. “Occur within a single line” → These are internal rhymes — rhyming words inside the same line, not just at the end.

6. “A small part or section of a drama” → That’s an act or scene. Plays are broken into acts and scenes.

7. “A collection of lines that have a pattern and rhyme” → That’s a stanza — like a paragraph in poetry.

Now let’s fill in the table correctly:

| Word | Definition |
|------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| end rhymes | Occur at the end of each line |
| drama | Written to be performed on stage for an audience|
