without using the words like or as
symbolism - an object or element that represents something
else, providing a deeper meaning
mood - a recurring element within a text
imagery - descriptive language that appeals to the senses
(taste, touch, sound, sight, smell)
hyperbole - an extreme exaggeration
alliteration - the repeated consonant sound at the beginning
of a series of words
which of the following is an example of
alliteration?
dont dawdle all day down there.
the dark clouds looked gloomy.
his skin was like ice.

Explanation:

Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words. "Don't dawdle all day down there" has repeated "d" sounds at the start of words. "His skin was like ice" is a metaphor (comparison without "like" or "as" in the definition here, but actually it's a simile as it uses "like"; however, based on the given definitions, if we strictly follow the alliteration one - "repeated consonant sound at the beginning", only "Don't dawdle all day down there" fits). "The dark clouds looked gloomy" has no repeated initial consonant sounds for alliteration.

Answer:

Don't dawdle all day down there.
