Beat! beat! drumsl-blow! bugles! blow! Through the windows-through doors-burst like a ruthless force,
Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation,
Into the school where the scholar is studying;
-Walt Whitman, "Beat! Beat! Drums!"
Which statement best explains how the alliteration in this excerpt from a
poem about the Civil War contributes to its meaning?

C. The repetition of the "s" sound in line 4 creates the rhythm of
soldiers' marching feet in order to suggest that scholars need to
enlist in the army

that makes readers feel that the war will be quick and easy

the question should be re-phrased to a more appropiate syntaxis. instead of "do we need the greenhouse effect? ", it should be written as "is the greenhouse effect necessary? " in order to give it a general scope, instead of limiting the answer to the needs of "we" the humans.
