Question

Which words create alliteration in the poem?

lights; quiet
hushed whispers
silence surrounds
descends; ends

Answer 1

silence surrounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Alliteration is repeating the same first letter or sound in at least 2 words. silence surrounds both have the letter 's' at the beginning, so it counts as alliteration. None of the others have it.
