English please help?

hey guys im stuck on these 2 english questions can anybody please help ? 10points and best answer please help thank so much.



What musical device does T.S. Eliot use in the following excerpt from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"?



Before the taking of a toast and tea.



a.alliteration



b.internal rhyme



c.simile



d.narrative















Which of the following senses is NOT appealed to by the following line from Ezra Pound's "The River-Merchant's Wife: A Letter"?



I played about the front gate, pulling flowers.



a.sight



b.smell



c.taste



d.touch

English please help?
1) a. alliteration



Alliteration is the repetition of the first consonant sounds, such as in "Taking", "Toast", and "Tea".



2) c. taste



Sight is appealed to by mentioning the front gate and flowers.

Smell is appealed to by the flowers, I suppose.

Touch is appealed to by the verb "pulling".



The second question is a little odd, but there is NOTHING in that line that even remotely appeals to taste. Best choice? C.
Reply:A for the first one because of the T's in Taking, Toast, and Tea

C for the second one.

Sight= played

Smell= flowers

touch= pulling the slowers

No taste.
