The answer is:  " assonance " .
________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________
           The answer is "assonance"— since there are repeated, nearby words with the same vowels that are internal (i.e. not at the beginning of the word, as in "alliteration") within words that are repeated and/or nearby.
        {This is the definition or description of "assonance".}. <span>
_______________________________________________________
        {Note that "alliteration" is not limited to nearby words with initial consonant sounds —but also refers to nearby words with repeated initial vowel sounds; such as:
   
   "Always avoid annoying alliteration."  }.
____________________________________________________
    Furthermore, in "assonance", the vowel sounds do NOT have to be in within the FIRST syllable of each of the words—nor do the vowel sounds in repeated, nearby words HAVE to be within the SAME SYLLABLES;  rather, this just happens to be the case in the actual question being asked.
________________________________________________________ 
     Specifically, in the example provided:
________________________________________________________
        "The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain."    ;
______________________________________________
          the words:  "rain", "Spain", "mainly", "stays", "mainly", "plain" ;  are words that are very close together with the same vowel sound of the "long 'a' "  ;   providing examples of "assonance".
____________________________________________________
 Hope this explanation—though lengthy—is of some help!

What is the “Star Trek effect”?
Aleksandr [31]
Let's start first by using process of elimination. Usually, when given multiple choice, we can eliminate two answers right away. In this case, I would eliminate A and D, because those answers make no sense and appear far-fetched. 
Now let's move on to B and C. Obviously both of these answers have bearing, however, our job is to chose the <em>best </em>answer. According to Google, the Star Trek effect is the cultural influence Star Trek has on the nation, for example, promoting interracial kissing and a diverse cast. Therefore, my best guess would be C, because it is a cultural aspect.
If my answer was correct, please let me know, and give me brainliest answer!
