Answer 1

I believe that the correct answer is the first one, letter a. 

Answer 2

A. He uses assonance to connect the images of death and sea.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this excerpt of "Annabel Lee," Edgar Allan Poe uses assonance in order to connect the images of death and sea. He uses assonance in the second line when he talks about the "demons down under the sea." Assonance is the resemblance in the sounds of words between their vowels or their consonants.
