Read the excerpt from "Safari Day in Kenya.”

Kimani stops at a watering hole, where hippos grunt in mud-baths,
Baboons play in a nearby tree, like children out at camp.

The underlined portion of the stanza is an example of which sound device?

onomatopoeia
assonance
alliteration
rhyme

I believe it is assonance.

The underlined portion of the stanza is an example of assonance because it is a repetition of vowel sound without repeating the consonants.
