Question

Which excerpt illustrates the use of alliteration in this poem?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is indeed letter C. “You can no longer quiet me with the redness/Of little leaves opening stickily.”

Explanation:

Alliteration is a literary device that consists of repeating the same consonant sound at the beginning of two or more adjacent or close words. A famous tongue-twister that uses alliteration is the Peter Piper one: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

Among the options provided, we can find alliteration in the third one, more specifically in the words "little leaves". These words are adjacent and begin with the same consonant sound / l /. Those characteristics constitute alliteration.

Answer 2

The answer is C."You can no longer quiet me with the redness/Of little leaves opening stickily."
