Question

Which alliterative phrase best reflects the theme that the world contains dark and powerful forces?

A) "thy heart began to beat"

B) "In what distant deeps or skies"

C) "Could frame thy fearful symmetry"

D) "Tyger, tyger burning bright"

Answer 1

In my opinion, the correct answer is C) "Could frame thy fearful symmetry". In the other examples, the alliterated consonants are plosives (B, D, T). Whereas they provide rhythm and chantlike experience, they are not as mystical as the "F" that is being alliterated in the C. line.
