ScanSolve AI Answer

Answer

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within nearby words that do not rhyme. For example, "The light of the fire is quite a sight."

Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds within nearby words, often at the end of words, but not necessarily at the beginning. For example, "Mike likes his new bike."

Alliteration is the repetition of the initial consonant sound in multiple words that are close together. For example, "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."
