1)It contains repeating consonant sounds.
2)It shows how an object is similar to a human being.
3)It compares two unlike objects.

Answer 1

1 is the answer ..try remembering alliteration as tongue twisters with alot of same letters beginning each word

Answer 2

Answer: 1) It contains repeating consonant sounds.

Explanation: alliteration is a literary device that consists in the repetition of the beginning sounds of consecutive words, or words that are close to each other. The given line is a clear example of alliteration because of the repetition of the "p" sound at the beginning of almost every word ("Peter," "Piper," "picked," "peck," "pickled," and "peppers"), so the correct answer is the corresponding to option 1.
