Answer:
B. Hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal sky with hideous ruin
Explanation:
Allitetation is a literary device whose main characteristic is repetition of the same letter (or sound) in several close words in a line (or a sentence).
It's main purpose is to emphasize those words and make strong connection between them. As an addition, it makes the poem more appealing.
Here, we see "hurled" "headlong" and "hideous" used in the same line and all starting with the same sound.
For more information, that line is from John Milton's "Paradise Lost".
The first governing system of the United States, the Articles of Confederation, placed most government power in the hands of the states. The weaknesses of this system led states to call for a new Constitution.
