Question

-youthful hose
-world too wide
-shrunk shank
-pipes and whistles

Answer 1

World to wide I think not that sure

Answer 2

2. world too wide

3. shrunk shank

Step-by-step explanation:

Alliteration is a stylistic literary technique that we can identify when two or more neighboring words have the same initial consonant sound, this words may be separated by short words like "too," "and," "a," "of," or "to." Options 2 and 3 contain alliteration because the words "world" and "wide" have the same initial consonant sound of "w", and "shrunk" and "shank" have the same initial consonant sound of "sh", while the others options do not.
