Question

question 5
read this excerpt from a poem. which element does it
contain?
a strong wind clamors against the old
back gate
and rattles at the windows in a
vicious spate.
theres a crashing of a shutter,
and the candles start to flutter,
when the brawny howling wind
accelerates.

rhyme scheme
alliteration
simile
exaggeration

Explanation:

Alliteration is the repetition of the same initial consonant sounds in a sequence of words. In the poem, "brawny howling wind" has the repetition of the 'h' sound (howling) and 'b' sound (brawny). A rhyme scheme would require a pattern of rhyming words at the end of lines (e.g., ABAB). A simile uses "like" or "as" for comparison. Exaggeration is over - the - top description. Since there's no such elements as rhyme scheme (no consistent end - rhyme), simile (no "like" or "as"), or exaggeration (no extreme over - statement) in a dominant way, and alliteration is present.

Answer:

alliteration
