<span>McCarthyism became a catchword for charges and accusations against other Americans.

During the era after World War II, the fear of communism spread throughout the US as America and the Soviet Union competed for global power and influence. This constant fear and paranoia of communism was only fueled by Senator Joseph McCarthy. McCarthy accused numerous people of being communist, including members of the State Department and even members of the American military. These types of accusations increased suspicion in the US and caused American citizens to turn on each other. </span>

Identify which device (alliteration, consonance, or assonance) is used in the underlined words from sonnets by Edmund Spenser.
AlekseyPX
The first line contains alliteration. Alliteration is when consecutive words begin with same sounds. In this case, you have Having Harrowed H.e.ll, which all start with the H sound. It refers to spoken sounds, not just letters, as some letters or letter clusters might be pronounced differently, so it has to begin with same sounds.

The second line contains a.s.sonance. A.s.sonance is a figure of speech used in poetry in which words contain the same vowel or dipht.hong in numerous words in consecutive order. In the second line, you have Light, Smiles, Drives, which all contain the dipht.hong /ai/ which repeats to give of a joyful sound when spoken

The third line contains consonance. It is basically the opposite of a.ssonance, instead of vowels and dipht.hongs, you have consonants that repeat in sequence over numerous words. In the third line, you have Mortal To Immortalize, where you have the strong T sound that is used in consecutive words.
