Answer:
Samantha is playing with a ball that bounces into the street: observation.
The ball will bounce in front of my vehicle: make assumptions.
Samantha is going to run after her bouncing ball: estabish facts and a theory.
This situation could become an accident: form opinions.
I should brake. I should swerve. I should do nothing. Create an argument to defend opinion.
I cannot brake in time, so it is best to swerve my vehicle to evade Samantha and the ball. Analyze to critique the steps.
This was the best action and I made the right decision. Draw inferences.
The best answer here is the internal rhyme between cross and Albatross. The easiest way to work through what the best answer is is process of elimination. If you check each of the other choices, you'll see that the assonance mentioned really doesn't lend anything to the reading. The same is true for the alliteration choices. While they exist, they don't help to emphasize the importance of the Albatross. Conversely, the internal rhyme does highlight this because the reader is already anticipating the sound to come.
