Question

Which of the following lines from "Ode to My Socks" are examples of alliteration? (Select all that apply.) they were so beautiful birdseed and rosy melon flesh these celestial socks socks soft as rabbits

Answer 1

Alliteration is when words that are near each other share the same first sound. In these lines, 'beautiful' and 'birdseed' share the same beginning consonant. The other example of alliteration is 'celestial,' 'socks,' and 'soft,' since they all begin with an 's' sound
