Question

Statement: "-eyed clowns honk noses, toddlers shriek with glee, a rogue balloon stops with a pop, a big band blares."

Task: Create alliteration in the poem?

Options:
A. Honk; Shriek
B. Stops; Pop
C. Glee; Harmony
D. Big; Band

Answer 1

Option D, 'Big; Band,' is the correct answer as it includes two words that start with the same consonant 'B', making it an example of alliteration.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to identify an example of alliteration from the given statement. Alliteration is a literary device where the same consonant sound is repeated at the beginning of two or more closely positioned words. The options contain pairs of words to review for alliteration.

Looking at option D, 'Big; Band,' both words start with the consonant 'B' and therefore demonstrate alliteration. Alliteration is present when the initial sounds of neighboring or closely connected words repeat. 'Big' and 'Band' provide an example of alliteration as their initial 'B' sound is repeated, making option D the correct answer.
