read the excerpt from \sea fever\ by john masefield. to the gulls way and the whales way where the winds like a whetted knife; which sound device is most notable in the excerpt? alliteration assonance onomatopoeia rhyme
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Alliteration is the repetition of the initial consonant sound. In "To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife", the 'w' sound is repeated in "way", "whale's", "wind's", "whetted". Assonance is vowel - sound repetition, onomatopoeia is words imitating sounds, and rhyme is about end - sound similarity in lines. Here alliteration is most prominent.
Answer:
A. alliteration
