The two correct answers present in the stanza are:

  • alliteration
  • consonance

Explanation:

  • Alliteration is evident in the repetition of initial consonant sounds, such as in "silly, simpering, sideways sellout."
  • Consonance is present with the repetition of consonant sounds, like the "s" sound throughout the stanza.

There is no clear rhyme scheme, and the stanza does not contain enjambment since it consists of two distinct lines. Assonance is not prominently featured either.
