The correct answer is B, the sound devide used is alliteration. Throughout the first and thirds lines, words beginning with the letter "b" are repeated: birches, bend, boy and been.

Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in nearby stressed words or syllables. In the two lines signaled by the question, of all the sound devices mentioned, alliteration is the only one used.

Read the following poem "fog" by carl sandburg
Lina20 [59]

. It creates a single image, the eseence of the fog.

Explanation:

Modernist poetry is impressionistic instead of lyrical, and often focuses on one single image or a vignette to convey its theme and the poem consists of short impressions.

This poem has a lot of character, uses free verse with the normal every day diction of speech but with pointed and sharp small lines to convey the essence of the fog contained in a small space.

The small lines, the impassioned tone without flowery diction is all symbolic of a modernist tinge to the poetry.
