I’m so bad with poetry, if anyone can help i’d really appreciate it.

Answer 1

I think it's D!

Answer 2

Definitely not alliteration (e.g. Slithery Sasha snake slyly steals slimy strawberry salads. Lol!) or onomatopoeia (e.g. Moo! went the cow. Boom! went the oven as whooshes of smoke slithers out to our fresh kitchen air.)

Answer 3

It was consonance.

3. “Went snicker snack”
4. The impending confrontation between foes
