Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Alliteration

The correct answer is 'Alliteration'.

 

• Alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. 
• 'Rhyme' means 'correspondence of sound between words or the endings of words, especially when these are used at the ends of lines of poetry'.
• 'Personification' means 'the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something non-human, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form'.
• 'Oxymoron' means 'a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction'. 
• 'Pun' means 'a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words which sound alike but have different meanings'.
