Answer:

D). "Traverse the lane in record time."

Explanation:

Alliteration is described as the literary device that employs the 'repetition of a similar consonant sound at the beginning of two or words in a line or phrase of poetry. It primarily functions to engage the readers' interest as it instills rhythm and melody to the poem along with a specified mood and connotation.

In the given question, the option that does not exemplify 'alliteration' would be 'traverse....time' as there is a long interval between the repetition of consonant sound 't' in 'traverse' and 'time'. Therefore, it fails to create the intended rhythm and capture the readers' attention and interest. Thus, it also fails to create the intended effect and hence, option D is the correct answer. The other options involve repetition of consonant sound that creates a rhythm in the line like 't' in 'train and strain', 'w' in 'who will win', 'f' in 'fin-like feet flap', etc. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

Which sentence from "The Interlopers" is written in passive voice?A."In a forest of mixed growth somewhere on the eastern spurs
Helga [31]

Answer:

The answer is: C. A fierce shriek of the storm had been answered by a splitting crash over their heads…

Explanation:

Passive voice is often used to emphasize a verb or the object in a sentence. In active voice, emphasis is made on the subject i.ethe doer of the action but in passive voice, the verb or subject is emphasized.

Passive voice could also show that the subject in that case is either not too important or we don't know what or who the subject is.

A way to identify passive voice is to observe what happened and what the subject in the text is. If the subject i.e the doer is omitted or occurs after the action has taken place, it's a passive voice. Sometimes you can also identify it by looking at the verb. If it's in past participle, as in "had been" (used in option C), it's passive voice.

The presence of "by" (also present in option C), which also turns the position of object to subject is also an indicator of passive voice.
