Assonance is the repetition of the same vowels in non-rhyming words. The letter i is used to make the words tie together without them rhyming.

Answer 2

is there any other answers?

Answer 4

I would say no, but some could be considered assonance;

Those would the only ones I would guess, definitely C but B and D could be considered as well.
