Answer 1

The first step is to identify what each term means. Give me a moment.

Answer 2

Repetition: when words are repeated at the start of clauses or verses

Assonance: takes place when two or more words, close to one another repeat the same vowel sound, but start with different consonant sounds.

Slant rhyme: rhyme in which either the vowels or the consonants of stressed syllables are identical, as in eyes, light; years, yours.

Alliteration: It is a stylistic device in which a number of words, having the same first consonant sound, occur close together in a series.

Consonance: refers to repetitive sounds produced by consonants within a sentence or phrase. This repetition often takes place in quick succession, such as in “pitter, patter.”

Answer 3

Start with repetition and alliteration first, they are the easiest to spot.

Answer 4

Hints:
the repetition example repeats the word 3x

the consonance example repeats the consonant sound at the end of each of these words, which start with different syllables

the assonance example has its assonance words at the end of each of the sentences clauses

the alliteration example is so simply seen

I haven't quite figured out slant rhyme but you can get it from process of elimination (:
