Answer 1

The poetic elements present in the stanza are:

1. Alliteration - The repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words, as seen in "Silly, simpering, sideways sellout!"
2. Assonance - The repetition of vowel sounds within the words, which can be found in phrases such as "neither man nor machine."

So the two correct answers are alliteration and assonance.
