Yes, you are correct! The example of alliteration in a poem is #4 - "slither and slater." Alliteration is a literary device that involves the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of nearby words. In this case, the words "slither" and "slater" both start with the same "s" sound, creating an alliterative effect. To find the answer, you had to carefully read and analyze each option to see if any of them exhibited this specific type of sound repetition. Well done!
