Answer: They and take are examples of assonance, and they and the are examples of alliteration. Assonance is when two or more words repeat the vowel sounds but start with different consonant sounds (in this case, They and take have similar vowel sounds but they start with different consonant sounds "th" and "t"). Alliteration is the repetition of the consonant sound at the beginning of two or more words (in this case the and they both start with the consonant sound "th").
