Question

All of the following kinds of writing could reasonably and purposefully use alliteration EXCEPT
A: Formal business letter
B: old poem
C: a passage from a narrative
D: speech by a character in a play

Answer 1

Answer:

A: Formal business letter

Explanation:

Alliteration is the use of similar sounding end words in a sentence. An example would include "Peter's papa paid people to play the piano".

Alliteration is mostly used by artists and in informal settings, therefore, using alliteration in a formal business letter would be considered inappropriate.
