Marching down to their boats on the shore. 7

d
Line 4 only

Answer 1

B.

al·lit·er·a·tion

noun
the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words.
"the alliteration of “sweet birds sang”"

Answer 2

B

Step-by-step explanation:

lines 2, 3, and 4 contain alliteration. The "w" sound in "wanders" and "watches" (line 2), and the "s" sound in "silence" and "sound" (line 3), and the "m" sound in "muster" and "men" (line 4), all create alliteration.So the correct answer is b: Lines 2, 3, and 4. I apologize for the confusion and thank you for bringing it to my attention.
