Read the passage. “Within the shadow of the ship I watched their rich attire: Blue, glossy green, and velvet black, They coiled and swam; and every track Was a flash of golden fire.” Which use of alliteration reminds readers that these lines from Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” are about the water snakes the Mariner watches? the alliteration between “shadow” and “ship” the alliteration between “blue” and “green” the alliteration between “golden” and “fire” the alliteration within the word “velvet”

I think it would be the alliteration between shadow and ship just because that is where the water snakes are by if that makes sense
