'Slippery sloppily' mirrors the use of the literary device in “shrieking shrilly".[option (iii)]
Which literary device is used in "shrieking shrilly"?
- Alliteration is used in "shrieking shrilly".
- Alliteration is a literary device in which the first syllables of two consecutive words are similar sounding.
- It is a common figure of speech used to make prose/passage sound more pleasing.
- In 'slippery sloppily' the initial sound of 'sl'- is common in both words.
- Hence, it is also an alliteration.
- In 'sparkling saga' the sound made is 'sp'- and 'sa'- respectively, so it is not an alliteration.
- Similarly, the initial sounds made in 'singing soft' (si- and so-) and 'sneeze silently'(sn- and si-) are not similar, hence they are not alliterations.
Therefore, the correct option is (iii)slippery sloppily.
