Question 1 • ARC English 10 Semester 2 CR/Summer

Which word group is an example of assonance?

Answer
A
soul and all
B
a life five times mine
C
and no birds sing
D
she sells sea shells

Explanation

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in nearby words. In “a life five times mine,” the long “i” sound repeats in “life,” “five,” “times,” and “mine,” so this is an example of assonance. “She sells sea shells” mainly repeats the “s” sound, which is alliteration.
