Are you doing homework? It'd be easier to use something like dictionary.com and look up what the words mean and then figure it out. They won't give you the wrong answer.





C) Alliteration
Reply:Hmm. This is the second question involving consonance in the space of an hour. Is it exam time out there? Or is this a homework assignment?


Check the spelling CONSONANCE, not consanance. It means the repetition of the same or similar sounds. Assonance is the resemblance of two sounds between syllables. Alliteration is the same initial sound in two words, occurring close together. (She sells sea shells by the sea shore is a classic example of alliteration.)

Now which of these definitions fits the word mid-day. And why are you hyphenating it? My concise Oxford dictionary spells it as 'midday'. But I'll give you the hyphen if that's the way your assignment reads.
