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!

How do authors use point of view to create suspense?

raketka [301]

Imagine you're watching a scary movie: Wisconsin Weed-Whacker Massacre. There's a deranged lunatic in the house, and he's carrying a turbo-charged weed-whacker! While the main character, a cute teenage girl, was pouring a glass of milk in the kitchen, the audience sees the madman tiptoe up the stairs and slip into the hall closet. Minutes later our sweet teen star bops up to the second floor with her ear buds in, singing to herself. She reaches toward the closet door, but at the last minute decides what she wants is down the hall. When she turns away, the door creaks open, the prowler steps into the hallway behind her and revs up his trimmer.
