the implication of a word meaning.

Explanation

Alliteration is the repetition of the same or similar consonant sounds at the beginnings of nearby words. For example, “busy bees buzz” repeats the beginning b sound. Repeating sounds at the ends of words is a different sound pattern, so the correct choice is “the repetition of sounds at the beginning of words.”
