The correct answer is B.

Literary nonsense refers to a categorization of literature that balances elements that make sense with some that do not.

In this excerpt, Sandburg combines real places like Massachusetts, Soth Hadley and Northampton with the flongboo, an imaginary animal that has a yellow torch for a tail.

The phrase "twinklings and twinges" is an example of both_____.
Marysya12 [62]
D. Alliteration and Assonance

Alliteration is the repetition of the same letter sound at the beginning of a group of words. In this case the /tw/ sound repeats at the beginning of both twinklings and twinges. Assonance is the repetition of a vowel sound within a group of words. In this case the /in/ sound is repeated in both tw/in/klings and tw/in/ges. 

Hyperbole is an over-exaggeration. There is no over-exaggeration in this phrase. Enjambment is when a sentence spills over into other lines or stanzas in a poem. This is not the case with this phrase either.
