Question

Read "Sonnet LV" and answer the question which follows. "Sonnet LV" Not marble nor the gilded monuments Of princes shall outlive this pow'rful rhyme; But you shall shine more bright in these contents1 Than unswept stone, besmear'd with [untidy] time. When wasteful war shall statues overturn, 5 And broils2 root out the work of masonry, Nor Mars3 his sword nor war's quick fire shall burn The living record of your memory. 'Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity4 Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room 10 Even in the eyes of all posterity5 That wear this world out to the ending doom. So, till the judgment that yourself arise, You live in this, and dwell in lovers' eyes. 1. these contents: the lines of this poem. 2. broils: quarrels, battles. 3. Mars: god of war in Roman mythology. 4. all-oblivious enmity: anything that would destroy your memory. 5. all posterity: the future. The poet uses alliteration in line .

Answer 1

2. broils: quarrels, battles.

Alliteration is the repetition of the consonant  sound at the beginning of more than one word within a line or section of a poem or a piece. In this line, the 'b'sound is repeated two times: "Broils: quarrels, Battles". This sound device helps create rhythm and mood.
