Answer:

The options are incomplete. Next came the Tin Pan Bangers. Some had dishpans, some had frying pans, some had potato peeling pans. All the pans were tin with tight tin bottoms. And the Tin Pan Bangers banged with knives and forks and iron and wooden bangers on the bottoms of the tin pans is the correct option.

Explanation:

Carl Sandburg was an American poet, writer, and historian. The Wedding Procession of the Rag Doll and the Broom Handle and Who Was in It is a short story written by him and appeared in The Rootabaga Stories. It is the story of the wedding of the characters mentioned and how the ceremony was preceded by a procession.

Repetition is a rhetorical device that happens when the same sound or word is repeated in a phrase. There are several types, and alliteration is one of them; it consists in repeating the first consonant sound of a word, putting several sounds like this in one phrase or sentence. In the example, we can see the repetition of the "b" and "p" sound as in "potato peeling pans" or "bangers on the bottoms"; as an example of repetition, the word "pans" appears several times.
