Question

The school has a duty to include new food on the menu.

What type of rhetorical device is used here?

A. Rhyming
B. Consonance
C. Assonance
D. Alliteration

Answer 1

Assonance. The repetition of the vowel sound of "u" makes it an assonance. 

Answer 2

C. Assonance

Step-by-step explanation:

Assonance is a literary device we found in a piece of writing when nearby words have the same, or similar, vowel sound. In order to use this device, such words do not have to start with a similar vowel or consonant sound. In the sentence, all the words "school," "duty," "to," "include," "food," "new" and "menu" have the same "ü" sound, therefore it is using assonance.
