Which excerpt from "Keynote Address" includes an example of alliteration?

Answer

A

"[Spiraling violence] has already cost us our beloved John F. Kennedy, our great leader Martin Luther King Jr. and the voice of this decade, Senator Robert F. Kennedy."

B

"Young people have rioted in China and Czechoslovakia as well as at Colombia, and in Paris and Berlin as well as in Berkeley."

C

"Yet assassins’ bullets have robbed our country of three great leaders within the last five years."

D

"These are not easy questions, and perhaps there are no certain answers."

Explanation

Alliteration repeats the same beginning consonant sound in nearby words. In choice B, “China” and “Czechoslovakia” both begin with the “ch” sound, so this excerpt includes alliteration.
