Answer 1

The two correct answers from the stanza are:

• alliteration
• consonance

Explanation:

• Alliteration is the repetition of the same initial consonant sounds in closely placed words, which is present in phrases like "silly, simpering, sideways."
• Consonance refers to the repetition of consonant sounds in close proximity, which can be found in words throughout the stanza.

Enjambment refers to a continuation of a sentence without a pause beyond the end of a line, which is not applicable here since the stanza appears to be contained within a single line structure. Rhyme scheme and assonance do not clearly apply to this particular stanza.
