Answer 1

Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound or letter at the beginning of closely connected words.

The sentence that contains an example of alliteration is:

**"The soft sand slipped through my hands and onto the blanket."**

In this sentence, the repetition of the "s" sound in "soft," "sand," "slipped," and "s" is an example of alliteration.
