Answer:

B. Employing Alliteration

Step-by-step explanation:

Alliteration is when two or more words in a sentence begin with the same sound or Alliteration is the repetition of beginning consonant sounds in two or more neighboring words or syllables.

Alliteration can also be said to be a term used to describe a literary device in which a series of words begin with the same consonant sound.

A good illustration of alliteration is:“She sells seashells by the sea shore".

“Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers"is another example of an Alliteration.

Some Alliterations can be considered as a tongue twister, also.

The phrase "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" can be said to be employing Alliteration.
