Question

Read the excerpts from Lord Byron’s "She Walks in Beauty." In the first excerpt, select the two word pairs that contain alliteration. In the second excerpt, select all the words that create assonance. She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; One shade the more, one ray the less Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress,

Answer 1

1. cloudless climes and starry skies
2. shade, ray, nameless, grace, waves, and raven

Step-by-step explanation:

Alliteration is a figure of speech represented by the repetition of phonemes, using consonants, in a verse, or in a sentence. These phonemes are extremely similar and sometimes even the same. In relation to the question above, the alliteration can be seen in Lord Byron's poem through the verse "cloudless climes and starry skies"

Assonance, is also a figure of language. It has the ability to create a sound effect with the repetition of vowels in several words that make up a text, mainly in the stressed syllables of those words, to highlight the musicality. In Lord Byron's poem, we can see the astonishment through the words "shade, ray, nameless, grace, waves, and raven".
