Which two pairs of words represent the use of alliteration in the poem?

For A Lady I Know

by Countee Cullen



She even thinks that up in heaven

Her class lies late and snores


While poor black cherubs rise at seven

To do celestial chores.

Respuesta :

its "thinks that" and "lies late", i got a 100 on the test

Answer:

"Thinks that" and "lies late" are the correct answer.

Explanation:

Alliteration is a rhetorical device and also a type of repetition. In this case, the first sound of the word is repeated in a phrase, putting the words with similar sound (for this device a consonant is needed) very close to create an artistic effect on readers. Thinks that repeats the "t" sound at the beginning of two words, and the same happens with lies late, but with an l sound in this case.
