Which line from Beowulf makes the most use of alliteration, the repetition of
consonant sounds at the beginning of words?
1. telling with mastery of man's beginnings (line 6)
2. because the Almighty made him anathema (line 25)
3. blundering back with the butchered corpses (line 40)
4. Grendel's powers of destruction were plain (line 42)
Consonant sounds are any letters that are not vowels (a e i o u s) therefore the question is asking which lines has the most words starting with the same consonant letters.
