Answer 1

I'd say to answer this u wanna see the definitions


Alliteration: "the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words."


Hyperbole: "exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally."


Allusion: "an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference."


Oxymoron: "a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction"


I'd say u wanna cross off answer options C and B right off the bad this leaves answer options A and D which do u think is correct and why?

Answer 2

it would be alliteration becuase it repeats the same letter when closey togather for example "
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."
