Question

What type of figurative language is the apathetic college student was clearly confused on his final exam.

Answer 1

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

If you hear the same beginning sound of two words, it means that the figurative language used is alliteration. Alliteration is a type of figurative language where you repeat the same consonant sound at the beginning for a few words.

For example...

Creepy crawling critters creep creepily towards the crayon.

In our case, we see the words clearly and confused. These both have the "c" sound at the beginning, so this is alliteration.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!
