(1 point)
consonance

Explanation:

• Consonance: Refers to the repetition of consonant sounds. In "ago" and "know", the key is not consonant repetition.
• Alliteration: Involves the repetition of initial consonant sounds. Here, the initial sounds are different.
• Internal rhyme: Occurs when words within a line rhyme. "Ago" and "know" are in different lines.
• Assonance: Is the repetition of vowel sounds. In "ago" ($əʊ$ sound) and "know" ($əʊ$ sound), the vowel sounds are repeated.

Answer:

assonance
