Which of these phrases uses alliteration?
A. The engine shrieked angrily as the wheels turned in the sand.
B. Now her cat was struck ill. She couldn't bear the thought of
another huge loss.
C. He was as happy as a clam as he snuggled up in his childhood
bed.
O
D. 'I spare you my woes and worries. May my burdens breathe better
tomorrow.

Answer 1

Option D.
Alliteration is the repetition of a syllable over and over again in a sentence, usually the first syllable. In this sentence, woes and worries both start with the letter 'w,' and burdens breathe better all start with 'b.' Seeing that all the other sentences have no repetition of vowels, Option D is your best bet.
Good luck!

Answer 2

W: woes and worries
