Slant rhyme, more commonly known as half-rhyme, is a poetic device used to give an "inharmonious feeling in a rhyme scheme". Slant rhyme describes words whose stressed ending consonants match, but the proceeding vowel sounds don't match.

Answer D is the only one who consonants' sounds match; the 'm' sound being stressed on both words. The "ir" and "oo" do not sound the same though, so it is a slant rhyme.

Not sure if there was any sort of picture or something to go along with this but my guess is the book went into deep depth and was very informative.
