The correct answer is: [A]:
_________________________________________
" assonance " .
_________________________________________
<u>Note</u>: Lines 3 and 4 ; as follows:
_________________________________________
" And many an eye has dance to see
That banner in the sky ; "
_________________________________________
Note that "assonance" refers to the "repetition of vowel sounds" ; that occur "with" words that are close by.
_________________________________________
Note the following words that in "lines 3 and 4" that contain that;
in bold font; as follows:
________________________________________
" <u>A</u>nd m<u>a</u>ny <u>a</u>n eye h<u>a</u>s d<u>a</u>nce to see
Th<u>a</u>t b<u>a</u>nner in the sky ; "
_______________________________________
The presents of "repetition of [a] vowel sound" is quite evident within "lines 3 and 4" — as shown above.
{<u>Note</u>: Try reading the lines aloud and notice 'vowel sounds' that are indicated bold font and underlined — as shown above.}.
_______________________________________
"Alliteration" would be incorrect; since "alliteration" would refer to the present of the repetition of the same consonant sounds; or the same vowel sounds; at the beginning of the first syllables of, words that follow each other—as well as words that appear close together. There is no evidence of this in "lines 3 and 4" of the given passage.
We can rule out "end rhyme" ; since "see" and "sky" do not "rhyme" —nor do "dance to sea" and "in the sky"— which occur at the end of lines 3 and 4.
We can rule out "onomatopoeia" — since there is no evidence of the use of words that sound like themselves (i.e. no evidence of words such as "rattle, jolt, murmur, gargle, buzz, chirp — within "lines 3 and 4."}.
