Read the poem below and answer the question that follows.

“God’s World”
by Edna St. Vincent Millay

O world, I cannot hold thee close enough!
Thy winds, thy wide grey skies!
Thy mists, that roll and rise!
Thy woods, this autumn day, that ache and sag
And all but cry with colour! That gaunt crag
To crush! To lift the lean of that black bluff!
World, World, I cannot get thee close enough!

Long have I known a glory in it all,
But never knew I this:
Here such a passion is
As stretcheth me apart,—Lord, I do fear
Thou’st made the world too beautiful this year;
My soul is all but out of me,—let fall
No burning leaf; prithee, let no bird call.


Which line from the poem above illustrates alliteration?

A. “Long have I known a glory in it all”
B. “Thou’st made the world too beautiful this year”
C. “To lift the lean of that black bluff!”
D. “My soul is all but out of me”

Respuesta :

C. “To lift the lean of that black bluff!"

Alliteration is the rhyming or matching of two closely related words. In 
“To lift the lean of that black bluff!” you can see the words 'lift' and 'lean' are close to one another and rhyme. Therefore, your answer is c.

Hope this helped. Have a great day!
