Answer: Alliteration, Assonance, and Metaphor

Step-by-step explanation:

Alliteration: The repetition of the same consonant sounds of words, in this case the {W}

Assonance: the repetition of the same vowel sound or words { with, we, were, waiting, worrying, way}

Metaphor: a comparison between two things that are unlike but it does not use the words "like or as" example { deer in headlights}

Hope it helps :)

Answer:

Alliteration, metaphor, imagery .

Step-by-step explanation:

In the world of literature, there are numerous literary techniques or figurative languages that writers may employ in their works. These languages may be metaphors, similes, personification, etc among others.

Alliteration is the repetition of the same letter of the first letter in a word. In this case, he alliteration occurs in the words "sun shining", "waiting and worrying" etc.

A metaphor is when a writer makes a comparison between things though indirectly. In the given sentence, the metaphor is when the speaker says "we were fearful deer".

Imagery is when the descriptive details are presented in such a way that our sense of imagination makes it easy and possible to make out what is talked about. Here, the imagery is seen in the words "the sun shining into our eyes", "we were fearful deer in headlights, waiting and worrying".
