The correct answer is letter C. Assonance. The reason why it's not metaphor because it is comparing two things w/o using like or as
not; It is not a simile since it compares two thing using like or as
and its not Alliteration because repetition of the first letter is not present. It is Assonance because it is a resemblance of sound, especially of the vowel sounds in words
