Answer 2

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds to create internal rhyming within phrases or sentences

alliteration is the repetition of a particular sound in the prominent lifts (or stressed syllables) of a series of words or phrases.

Consonance is a poetic device characterized by the repetition of the same consonant two or more times in short succession, as in "pitter patter" or in "all mammals named Sam are clammy".

Onomatopoeia is a word to describe a sound, like BOOM, or ARF.

Using these definitions, try to narrow it down. If you still need help, I will help.
