Question

Which of the following sentences contain alliteration?

The book is stuck in my locker and will never budge.
The book is as heavy as lead.
The blue book is bound to be better than the other one.
The book is a piece of lead and hard to carry.

Answer 1

Only the sentence 'The blue book is bound to be better than the other one.' contains alliteration due to the repetition of the 'b' sound. Alliteration is a literary device consisting of the repetition of initial consonant sounds in a series of words to create rhythm and musicality in the text.

Step-by-step explanation:

The literary device in question is alliteration, which involves the repetition of the initial consonant sounds in a series of words. This is a common stylistic device used in English literature to create rhythm and musicality in a text.

Examples of Alliteration:

• 'The blue book is bound to be better than the other one.' This sentence contains alliteration because of the repetition of the 'b' sound at the beginning of 'blue,' 'book,' 'bound,' 'be,' and 'better.'
• Alliteration is not present in the sentences: 'The book is stuck in my locker and will never budge.', 'The book is as heavy as lead.', and 'The book is a piece of lead and hard to carry.' as they do not contain a repetition of initial consonant sounds.

Answer 2

The definition for Alliteration is: the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words.

Example: "the alliteration of “sweet birds sang”

Based on this the answer is: The blue book is bound to be better than the other one.
