    Identify if the statement is evident in simile, alliteration or metaphor.   Rabbits Running Over Roses  

    • Metaphor

    • Simile

    • Alliteration

    Correct Answer
    A. Alliteration
    Explanation
    The given statement "Rabbits Running Over Roses" is an example of alliteration. Alliteration refers to the repetition of the same sound or letter at the beginning of closely connected words. In this case, the repetition of the "r" sound in "Rabbits Running Over Roses" qualifies it as an alliteration.

    Identify if the statement is evident in simile, alliteration or metaphor.  "The rain falls like the sun, rising upon the mountains."

    • Simile

    • Metaphor

    • Alliteration

    Correct Answer
    A. Simile
    Explanation
    This statement is an example of a simile because it directly compares the rain falling to the sun rising using the word "like." Similes use explicit words such as "like" or "as" to draw comparisons between two unlike things, while metaphors imply the comparison without those explicit words. Alliteration involves the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words, which is not present in this statement.

A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two unrelated things by stating that one thing is another thing.
