The best examples of alliteration from the provided lines from “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe are:
“As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door” - The repetition of the "r" sound in "rapping" and "rap" exemplifies alliteration.
“While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping” - The repeated "n" sound in "nodded" and "napping" also exemplifies alliteration.
You can choose either of these lines as an example of alliteration.
I would choose: “As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.” This line features the repetition of the "r" sound, which is a clear example of alliteration.
