Detailed explanation-1: -Alliteration The repetition of an initial consonant sound. Examples: • She sells seashells on the seashore. Lazy leaping lizard. Chocolate chewy cheese.

Detailed explanation-3: -Alliteration. This is a very common figure of speech that involves using words that begin with the same sound. Example: “Sally sells sea shells by the seashore.”
Detailed explanation-4: -For if she sells sea-shells on the sea-shore, Then I’m sure she sells sea-shore shells. Almost every sound in this verse involves assonance (e.g. the ‘-ee-’ sound in ‘she’ and ‘sea’) or consonance (e.g. the ‘sh-’ sound in ‘she’, ‘shells’, ‘shore’, and ‘sure’)!
