Read each question carefully and follow the instructions. Remember, consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds within words in close proximity.
Consonance is a literary device that involves the repetition of consonant sounds within words that are close to each other. Unlike alliteration, which repeats consonant sounds at the beginning of words, consonance can occur anywhere within the words. It helps create a sense of rhythm and musicality in writing.
