Answer 1

Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound or letter at the beginning of closely connected words.

The sentence that contains an example of alliteration is:

"The soft sand slipped through my hands and onto the blanket."

In this sentence, the repetition of the "s" sound in "soft," "sand," "slipped," and "s" is an example of alliteration.
