Answer:
A. Knows / was past tense
The answer is:
- repetition
- alliteration
- assonance
In the pasage from "Theme for English B," the author Langston Hughes makes use of repetition when he reproduces the words <em>and</em>, <em>hear, me, </em>and <em>you</em> several times.
He also uses alliteration, which is the evident repetition of identical consonant sounds in nearby syllables. For example, <em>true </em>and <em>twenty-two</em>, as well as <em>hear </em>and <em>Harlem. </em>
Finally, Hughes also employs assonance, which is the resemblance in vowel sounds among syllables and words. For instance, <em>true, two, you</em> and <em>too</em>; and <em>feel, see </em>and <em>we</em>.
