Answer:

  • Alliteration

Step-by-step explanation:

Alliteration is an artistic gadget where at least two words in an expression or line of verse share a similar starting consonant sound. The words might be contiguous or isolated by at least one words.

One of the basic roles of alliteration is to underline something essential that the essayist or speaker might want to feature.

Alliteration is when the first consonants of neighboring words are repeated.
