Answer:

B. metaphor, alliteration, and repetition

Step-by-step explanation:

In this passage, these are the devices employed by the author. The author uses metaphor when he compares his experience in nature to a "show." He also employs alliteration when he uses the words "thought" and "brought." Finally, the author uses repetition by using the word "gazed" twice. All of these contribute to creating a more vivid image on the reader.
