Which line in this excerpt from Elizabeth Bishop's "The Fish" uses consonance?

sylvester:

Answer: the little rented boat Explanation: Consonance is the repetitive use of consonant sounds in a phrase or sentence. In this phrase, Elizabeth abuses of the sound of the consonant "T" to create the intended sense of rhythm. The sound of the consonant shows up 3 times in the sentence and it is used in short words to accentuate its sound.
