Select the correct text in the passage.

Read Emily Dickinson's "Twas Later When the Summer Went." Which two lines contain examples of alliteration?
Twas later when the summer went
Than when the cricket came.
And yet we knew that gentle clock
Meant nought but going home.
Twas sooner when the cricket went
Than when the winter came,
Yet that pathetic pendulum
Keeps esoteric time.

Answer:

"pathetic pendulum"

Step-by-step explanation:

Because alliteration basically means when certain words have a similar consonance sound, like "leaping lizards!" or "Wilbur went wacko when Wendy was whining."
