Question

He clasps the crag with crooked hands,” is an example of what type of which sound device? A. assonance B. consonance C. repetition D. alliteration

Answer 1

D. alliteration

Step-by-step explanation:

" The repetition of the same consonant sounds in a sequence of words, usually at the beginning of a word or stressed syllable: "descending dew drops"; "luscious lemons." Alliteration is based on the sounds of letters, rather than the spelling of words; for example, "keen" and "car" alliterate, but "car" and "cite" do not. Used sparingly, alliteration can intensify ideas by emphasizing key words, but when used too self-consciously, it can be distracting, even ridiculous, rather than effective. "

Answer 2

The line, "He clasps the crag with crooked hands" is an example of alliteration. The correct answer is option D. Alliteration is a literary device, wherein the words in the series have the same consonant sounds. The consonant sounds are often at the beginning of the word. In the given line, "clasps, crag and crooked" have the same consonant sounds at the beginning of these words.
