Question

Which of the following is an example of ALLITERATION? O the rains in May fall gently on the plain O the silly seal sat in the sand O holiday is to Halloween as color is to green O the homework was as boring as a brick wall​

Answer 1

O the silly seal sat in the sand

Step-by-step explanation:

Alliteration is a repetition of a letter or sound at the beginning of words. In this one, you see a repetition of the letter "s". This doesn't apply to any of the others. The one about homework, specifically, is an example of a simile, or comparing two things using "like" or "as". I don't remember what the one about Halloween is called, but it is just saying that these two things are related (Halloween is a holiday) so that has to have something to do with the other thing (green is a color). And I have no clue what the one about May is supposed to be.

Answer 2

The correct answer is the second option, “the silly seal sat in the sand.”
