Read the lines below:

"Fleet feet sweep through the deep street,
Where silent dreams and shadows meet."

  1. AssonanceCevap
  2. B
    Alliteration
  3. C
    Consonance
  4. D
    Onomatopoeia

Cevap

Assonance
Assonance is the correct choice because the line creates musicality through the repetition of the vowel sound /iː/ across multiple adjacent words ("Fleet", "feet", "sweep", "deep", "street").

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the sound pattern within the first line of the extract.
The words "Fleet", "feet", "sweep", "deep", and "street" share the identical long vowel sound /iː/.
Determining whether the repeated sound consists of vowels or consonants clarifies the specific device.
2
Map the identified sound pattern to literary sound device definitions.
The repetition of internal vowel sounds within neighbouring words is defined as assonance.
Distinguishing vowel repetition from consonant repetition sets assonance apart from alliteration and consonance.
