Answer:

B and D

Explanation:

Lines A and C use perfect rhyme (minds - finds), and so do lines E and F (cheeks - weeks).

The rhyme in the pair of lines B, D is formed by words with similar but not identical sounds. In the words love and remove, the final consonants are identical but the vowels sound different. That is why this type of rhyme is called slant thyme, or half rhyme.  

pair B - D

Explanation:

"not love" and "re-move" is an example of a somewhat imperfect rhyme. It is actually an eye rhyme, which is a rhyme formed by words that are spelled similarly but pronounced differently.
