Answer 1

The line of poetry that contains an example of alliteration is:

The lazy lizard slithered slowly through the grass.

Alliteration is the repetition of the same initial consonant sound in a series of words, and in this line, the "l" sound in "lazy," "lizard," "slithered," and "slowly" exemplifies that.
