Read the passage from Beowulf.They marched in step, hurrying on till the timbered hall rose before them, radiant with gold.Nobody on earth knew of another building like it. Majesty lodged there,its light shone over many lands.

The passage uses alliteration, the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginnings of nearby words. For example, “Majesty” and “many” begin with the m sound, and “light” and “lands” begin with the l sound. This repeated sound pattern is the feature named in choice A, alliteration.
