Question

read the poem.
wide - eyed clowns honk noses,
toddlers shriek with glee,
a rogue balloon stops with a pop,
a big band blares its harmony.
which words create alliteration in the poem?
○ honk; shriek
○ stops; pop
○ glee; harmony
○ big; band

Explanation:

Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in nearby words. For "big; band", both words start with the consonant sound /b/, creating alliteration. "honk; shriek" have different initial sounds, "stops; pop" have different initial sounds ( /s/ and /p/), and "glee; harmony" have different initial sounds ( /g/ and /h/).

Answer:

D. big; band
