Answer:

Summer traditionally represents the time in life when we are fully blooming.

Explanation:

Summer traditionally represents the time in life when we are fully blooming. Spring is the virtuous youth. The metaphor he is playing with is the traditional notion that we all live the seasons of man, and that we have the most promise in the spring and are at our hottest (ripest) in the summer.

The main purpose of Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 is embodied in the end couplet: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this and this gives life to thee. The sonneteer's purpose is to make his love's beauty and, by implication, his love for her, eternal.

Which slogan contains alliteration?
zvonat [6]
Alliteration refers to the stylistic device wherein a number of words, which have the same 1st consonant sound, occur closely within a series.

Some obvious examples of alliteration are:
-Alice’s aunt ate apples and acorns around August.
<span>-But a better butter makes a batter better
</span>
Among your choices, the closest representation of alliteration is The Snack You Can Sneak. Although the choice "Simply the Best Snacks" does have 2 S's. The former has a better creative and rhythmic value.
 
So I would go for "<span>The Snack You Can Sneak" as the best answer here. </span>
