Question

What sound devices does Browning use in these lines from “Meeting at Night”?

The gray sea and the long black land; / And the yellow half-moon large and low

A. onomatopoeia and assonance

B. assonance and consonance

C. alliteration and onomatopoeia

D. alliteration and assonance

Answer 1

we can rule out onomatopoeia since there is not 'sound' that's being described here. We now know that it is not A or C.

I would say B is a better answer. My reason being is that 'large and low' is a slant rhyme.

Answer 2

Its not B.
