Answer:

Hi!

The answer to your question is letter B, Alliteration.

Step-by-step explanation:

So to start, we should know that alliteration is a writing technique that relies on how words sound in relation to each other. Because of this, you see the same letter or sounds at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words.

As an example we can see the poem "I Hear America Singing" from Walt Whitmant. In it, the autor includes the word singing 11 times in the 11 times on the poem. This is an example of alliterarion and the answer to this.
