In this passage from Stephen E. Lucas's essay "The Stylistic Artistry of the Declaration of Independence," what is the meaning o
f the word "alliteration"? "It is worth noting, as well, that this is the only part of the Declaration to employ much alliteration: 'British brethren,' 'time to time,' 'common kindred,' 'which would,' 'connections and correspondence'."
The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "'connections and correspondence'."In this passage from Stephen E. Lucas's essay "The Stylistic Artistry of the Declaration of Independence," The meaning of the word "alliteration" is that <span>'connections and correspondence'.</span>
In the passage, the meaning of "alliteration" is the repetition of consonants at the beginning of two or more words next to each other, and sometimes separated by short words like "to" and "and". We can infer this because of the examples the author provides after the word "alliteration": 'British brethren,' 'time to time,' 'common kindred,' 'which would,' and 'connections and correspondence' which are all words that begin with the same consonant sound.
