Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Alliteration ("caged," "stands," "grave," "shadows," "nightmare," "scream").

Consonance ("short," "past," "eternally," "death," "shalt," "die").

Alliteration ("fatal," "foes," "pair," "star-crossed," "lovers," "take," "their," "life").

Consonance ("many," "year," "ago," "kingdom," "sea," "maiden," "may," "know," "name," "Annabel," "Lee").

Consonance ("acquainted," "night," "walked," "out," "rain," "back," "furthest," "city," "light").
