In this passage, Alliteration is present in the words "nodded, nearly napping".
Alliteration is a literary device that consists of the repetition of a consonant sound at the beginning of words or stressed syllables of close proximity. The three words "nodded, nearly, napping" begin with the sound /n/. The effect that alliteration has in this passage is that <u>it resembles the situation of falling asleep</u>. Thus, the reader can experience that through the word choice of the poem.
I’m not sure about the multiple choice but for the writing question, it should be something like this:
the information the author uses to show that this storm was the worst in american history is its talk about the destruction it caused. the story mentions lives and buildings lost because no one saw the storm coming.
