2. C. Anaphora is a literary device that begins successive clauses or sentences with the same words to create a sense of rhythm: “they won’t hate you / they won’t criticize you they won’t know.”
3. A. Consonance is a literary device that uses repeated consonant sounds to imitate rhyme in a subtler and more natural way: “that grows in darkness, embossed by silvery images.”
