Which of the lines from "the raven" is the best example of alliteration?

a. over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore –

b. while i nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

c. "'tis some visitor," i muttered, "tapping at my chamber door –

d. only this and nothing more."

B. While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

Alliteration refers to the conspicuous repetition of initial consonant sounds in nearby words, even when these are spelled differently. Alliteration is also known as "head rhyme." In this case, the words "nodded, nearly napping" are an example of alliteration because of the repetition of the "n" sound. Alliteration is a common rhetorical device, as it can increase the rhythm, as well as the persuasiveness, of a text.

i agree so i wont repert this question

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3
