Question

What makes alliteration in this sentence? The dishes clattered and clanged as he washed them.

a. repeating consonant sounds
b. creating sound effects

Answer 1

An alliteration is the use of the same letter or sound at the beginning of closely connected words. So repeating consonant sounds would make the alliteration.

Answer 2

Your answer is: A) Repeating consonant sounds

Example: Sally sold sea shells by the sea shore

With alliteration, you start multiple words with the same letter, so if makes the same sound. People often use these or call them tongue teazers. Alliteration is not making sound affects. That is onomatopoeia.

Best of luck,
