This is true. The line "Fainting I follow, I leave off therefore" contains both a caesura and alliteration that are each offset by the other--contributing to the power of both.

The correct answer is TRUE. The given sentence is an example of both ALLITERATION and CAESURA.

CAESURA is a figure of speech that introduces a pause in a line of a verse, it is used for metrical purposes, and it can be marked with the symbol // or may be not marked. For example, "to be or not to be, // that is the question" (William Shakespeare, "Hamlet").

ALLITERATION is also a figure of speech that consists of the repetition of a sound at the beginning of words.

In the example provided we have the repetition of the sound (f) in "fainting" and "follow".

Answer:

My auntie.

Explanation:

I admire my auntie. I admire her because she has never led me down the wrong path. She is very supportive and caring. She is super funny and fun to be around. She is very positive and never does anything negative. She is a good influence for me. I think it is important to have someone special to you that can help you do better. In life I feel like you need to have someone supportive. I appreciate her very much and I never doubt her. If she was to tell me that she had 1000 dollars to give me I wouldn't say no you don't. I trust her very much. She is a great role model. I want to be like her one day. I don't ever want to be without her. She is so amazing.
