Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
The line "Repents and recoils, and climbs and closes" (line 39685) contains examples of ___________.

• A. metonymy
• B. exaggeration
• C. alliteration
• D. synecdoche

Answer 1

The correct option is C alliteration

Alliteration means a series of words use the same consonant. Option C)alliteration is correct as repents and recoils start with 'r' and climbs and closes start with 'c'. The other options are wrong as metonymy, exaggeration, and synecdoche mean a representative word which stands for something else, describing something as what it really isn't, and a word which is a term for a part of something but refers to the whole of itrespectively. The correct answer is C)alliteration.
