My stomach's tied in fifty knots;

Question

I think that I might hurl;
The classroom all around me feels
just like a Tilt-a-Whirl.
My head is full of buzzing bees;
my hands begin to shake.
Why won't my teacher put away
that nasty, yucky snake?

Which of these words from the poem are an example of alliteration?
A.
buzzing and bees
B.
nasty and yucky
C.
hands and shake
D.
snake and teacher

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. buzzing and bees.

Alliteration is the repetition of the same initial consonant sound in a sequence of words. In this case, both "buzzing" and "bees" start with the "b" sound.
