While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping

“‘Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door– Only this and nothing more.’”

Answer 1

The line that best exemplifies alliteration is:

"While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping."

This line uses the repetition of the initial consonant sound with the words "nodded," "nearly," and "napping," making it a clear example of alliteration.
