Answer 15

It is not alliteration. It is personification. They are saying that a nation was conceived, like a baby, then it is dedicated. A trait a nation cannot have, but a person can

Answer 16

No, that's an anaphore, sweetheart :)
Alliteration is the repetition of a similar sounding letter or, better expressed, a tongue twister

Answer 17

How is it, nothing is being compared in a human way?

Answer 18

It's being compared to a baby

Answer 19

concieved, dedication, things a nation cannot have. These are things a person can have however

Answer 20

The quote uses language that would have been used to describe a person to describe a nation. This is the reason the best choice is personification.

Answer 21

I don't see it being compared as a baby.

However, maybe the nation.

Answer 22

We did this over in english though, I just wanted him to remember to close this question.

Answer 23

oh, that, it's the two meanings of conceived. So one, is something is created or thought up. The second is the conception of a baby, we say they are conceived.

Answer 24

Oh, and

"Alliteration
is the repetition of sounds at the beginnings of words:
P
eter
P
iper
p
icked a
p
eck of
p
ickled
p
eppers."


So, I believe it could be C to B.
