Question 6 • English Language Arts 12

Which sentence contains the best example of alliteration?

Answer
A
At the break of day, the hikers packed their backpacks.
B
Elton parked his car away from the busy market.
C
Ten pieces of paper were placed upon the platter.
D
Each child stood up as the teacher entered the room.

Explanation

Alliteration is the repetition of the same beginning consonant sound in nearby words. In “Ten pieces of paper were placed upon the platter,” several nearby words begin with the “p” sound: “pieces,” “paper,” “placed,” and “platter.” That makes choice B the best example.
