Which example demonstrates alliteration?

  1. Sally sells seashells by the seashore

  2. The cat sat on the mat

  3. The sky is blue and vast

  4. Quietly, the night whispers

The correct answer is: Sally sells seashells by the seashore

Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in neighboring words. In the example "Sally sells seashells by the seashore," the "s" sound is repeated at the beginning of several words (Sally, sells, seashells, seashore), making it a clear demonstration of alliteration. The other options do not exhibit this literary device.
