Question

Hopkins's use of the words "seared," "bleared," and "smeared" serves as an example of which literary device? a. alliteration b. metaphor c. assonance d. simile

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is letter C. Assonance. The reason why it's not metaphor because it is comparing two things w/o using like or as not; It is not a simile since it compares two thing using like or as and its not Alliteration because repetition of the first letter is not present. It is Assonance because it is a resemblance of sound, especially of the vowel sounds in words

Markus O&#039;Hara · Answer

The correct answer is C) assonance.The assonance is a repetition in the sounds of words. This resemblance is mainly found in vowel sounds but it can also be perceived in consonants (also known as consonance). In the example given, the three words are spelt with EA and pronounced with a long i sound /i:/. The repetition of that sound is an assonance.

C. assonance, because assonance is when two or more words close together repeat the same vowel sound but have different consonant sounds. In this case, the "ea" is repeated

D. alliteration. The use of different words that are pronounced the same way.

Hopkin's use of "seared", "bleared", and "smeared" is an example of D. ASSONANCE. Assonance is a literary device wherein the vowel sounds are repeated to create a rhythm withing the phrase or sentence.The repetitive sound of "ea" in the given words are proof of the use of assonance.

Hopkin's use of "seared," "bleared," and "smeared" is an example of C) assonance.It's not a metaphor or simile because you aren't comparing anything.Alliteration means repetition of the same consonant in the beginning of the word, and since there are no same consonants, this isn't correct.

Hopkins's use of "seared," "bleared," and "smeared" is an example of assonance. In poetry, assonance is the repetition of the sound of a vowel or diphth.ong in no rhyming focused on syllables sufficiently close to each other for the reverberate to be perceivable. It is usually being use in poetry in order to add rhythm and music, by adding an internal rhyme to a poem
