Answer 1

Answer:

a. wide-eyed clowns honk noses no

b. toddlers shriek with glee no

c. rogue balloon stops with a pop no

d. a big band blares its harmony yes

Explanation:

Alliteration is a series of words that include repetition of the same first letter, NOT sound (rhyme). Repetition of sounds in a series of words is known as assonance. Both of these branches of figurative language are similar but NOT THE SAME. Anyway, in the first choice, there is no repetition: "w", "e", "c", "h", "n". Same goes with the next two. Choice B: "t", "s", "w", "g". Choice C: "r", "b", "s", "w", "a", "p". However in answer choice d, the words "big", "band", and "blares" all start with b.
