Answer:

Alliteration

Explanation:

The repetition of initial sounds in the phrase "wild and whirling words" is an example of alliteration. Alliteration is employed by authors in order to provide a melodic rhythm to a text. Alliteration happens when several words with the same consonant sounds appear close together. The device is common in both prose and poetry, and it is one of the most common literary devices in the English language.

Answer: Colon

Explanation:

As Hamlet so aptly advised: "To thine own self be true."

A Colon is the punctuation mark that is used to direct you to the information. Colon is usually giving the silent impression of ''Which is'' ''As follows'' ''Thus'' ''Which are'' and more. In this case, we can see that colon is more appropriate than semicolon which presents the pause and it is usually used between two independent clauses.

A colon is the punctuation mark with two parallel dots and it can be easily recognized in a sentence.
