Answer 2

The literary device used in "And no one buys a ball back."​ is alliteration.

What is alliteration?

• Alliteration means repetition of a sound.
• Here, the /b/ sound is repeated at the beginning of three words ‘buys a ball back’.
• Though the article ‘a’ appears between two words beginning with /b/, it is still a case of alliteration because

         - the words beginning with /b/ are closely connected

          - the presence of ‘a’ does not disturb the rhythm built by the repetition of the /b/ sound

Why is alliteration used?

Alliteration serves a few functions:

• it sounds nice
• it makes the text sound rhythmic
• it gets readers to focus on the text

Other examples:

• The boys agreed to abide by the rules.
• It was a sunny summer day in Sommerville.
