Valeria Rodriguez · Answer 1

Alliteration is a literary resource, especially in poetry in which the same consonant is used at the beginning of several words that are close together to create a rhyme. So in this case, option D) "the s sound is emphasized in both lines" is the correct one since it creates an effect of alliteration in the sentence. Some of the words in the example that create the "S" sound are "satin, shine, Sunday".
