I apologize for the oversight. Let's analyze the options again for alliteration, which is the repetition of the initial consonant sounds in closely placed words.

  1. "Achoo!" sneezed Rosa, disrupting the silence in the classroom. - No alliteration.
  2. The ice cream toppled off the cone and landed on the floor with a splat. - No alliteration.
  3. Mama was like a lioness, fiercely protective of her cubs. - No alliteration.
  4. The soft sand slipped through my hands and onto the blanket. - This contains alliteration with the "s" sound in "soft," "sand," and "slipped."

So, the correct answer for alliteration is "The soft sand slipped through my hands and onto the blanket." I appreciate your patience!
