assonance- relatively close juxtaposition of similar sounds especially of vowels
anaphora- repetition of a word or expression at the beginning of successive phrases, clauses, sentences, or verses especially for rhetorical or poetic effect
consonance- harmony or agreement among components
alliteration- the repetition of usually initial consonant sounds in two or more neighboring words or syllables

Answer:

assonance : the repetition of the sound of a vowel near enough to each other for the echo to be discernible

anaphora : the use of a word referring to or replacing a word used earlier in a sentence, to avoid repetition

consonance : the recurrence of similar sounds, especially consonants, in close proximity

alliteration : the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words
