Answer:

Hello. You did not enter the answer options, but I can help you by saying that the repetition of next initial consonant sounds occurs when a figure of speech called Alliteration is used. Here are some examples:

  • Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
  • Sheep should sleep in a shed.
  • I saw a saw that could out saw any other saw I ever saw.

Step-by-step explanation:

As stated above, the figure of speech called Aliteration has the ability to provide, in a text, the repetition of nearby initial consonant sounds. These sounds can be the same or very similar, since the intention is to create harmony and add musicality to the text. In this way, alliteration becomes a figure of speech widely used in poems, which may require this musicality and rhythm.
