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.

THE NEED TO EDUCATE THE GIRL CHILD

Let us pick up our pen and pencils, they are our most powerful weapon.

- Malala Yousafzai

Girls education is equally important as that of boys education. It is necessary for the development of a country since a country doesn't constitute of boys. A society needs equal balance between girls and boys education and that can be only done when both are educated.

There are certain places in our country where girls are not educated thinking that it will go waste. People only focus on boys education because they think girls will get married and go to their husband's house, then what is the need for it. But by educating a girl they can actually educate two families.

But they are not aware of the fact of educating a girl. Educating a girl means development of country, share of burden over families, social awareness, knowledge of their rights and so on. So we should educate the girl child.
