Answer: D) "sunny" and "spots."

Explanation: alliteration is a literary device that consists in the repetition of the beginning sounds of consecutive words or words that are close to each other in a text. In the given passage from "Kubla Kahn" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, we can see an example of alliteration in the words "sunny" and "spots" because they both start with a "s" sound. So the correct answer is the corresponding to option D.

Jamison · Answer 2

The set of words "sunny" and "spots" create alliteration in the excerpt. Alliteration is sounds that sound familiar to each other in a sentence.
