Question 1 • English 3

Read the excerpt from "Keynote Address." Change and challenge should not deter us now. We have long been a party of change and challenge. Which best describes how Inouye uses alliteration in the excerpt?

Answer
A
to highlight why the party's past efforts have been unsuccessful
B
to create common ground among those with opposing positions
C
to motivate and inspire confidence in the audience
D
to emphasize the difficulty of current circumstances

Explanation

Inouye repeats the initial “ch” sound in “change and challenge,” making the phrase memorable and forceful. The words frame challenges as something the party has faced before, so the audience should not be deterred. This use of alliteration helps motivate listeners and build confidence, rather than emphasizing failure or hardship.
