First of all the poem is not arranged,so it will be difficult for some people to get the answer but the answer is end rhyme which is a type of rhyme so the answer is A
Alliteration
sound device used in the extract above
The correct answer to the question about the sound device used in the extract is B. alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds at the beginning of words within a line or stanza of poetry. In the given extract, the repetition of the "b" sound in "birds," "moths," and "beetles" is an example of alliteration. This literary device can be used to create a rhythmic effect and draw attention to certain words or ideas within the poem.
*Emphasis* can indeed be a literary device used to draw attention to certain words, ideas, or themes in a text.
Emphasis in the extract
In the given extract, emphasis could be achieved through various means, such as:
1. Repetition of words or phrases
2. Use of strong or vivid language
3. Placement of important words or ideas at the beginning or end of lines
However, emphasis is more of a broader literary technique rather than a specific sound device like alliteration or rhyme.
Sound devices
Given the context of the question, which asks about sound devices, *B. alliteration* still seems like the most fitting answer.
