D. Alliteration and Assonance

Alliteration is the repetition of the same letter sound at the beginning of a group of words. In this case the /tw/ sound repeats at the beginning of both twinklings and twinges. Assonance is the repetition of a vowel sound within a group of words. In this case the /in/ sound is repeated in both tw/in/klings and tw/in/ges.

Hyperbole is an over-exaggeration. There is no over-exaggeration in this phrase. Enjambment is when a sentence spills over into other lines or stanzas in a poem. This is not the case with this phrase either.
