Commencement of words with the same letter

Rhyme
Alliteration
Pun
Oxymoron

The correct answer is B. Alliteration.

Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sound at the beginning of words that are close together. For example, “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.”

Rhyme is the repetition of similar sounds at the end of words. For example, “cat” and “hat.”

A pun is a play on words that relies on the multiple meanings of a word or phrase. For example, “I’m reading a book about

anti-gravity. I just can’t put it down.”

An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines two contradictory terms. For example, “jumbo shrimp” or “military intelligence.”
