Choose the sentence that is an example of alliteration:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Wasim wiped the wet windows of the waiting room.

Alliteration:

• Alliteration is the same first sound repeated in words that are close together.
• The “w” sound opens “Wasim”, “wiped”, “wet”, “windows” and “waiting”.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: All night, the frogs croaked in the paddy fields behind our house. — Incorrect. This sentence uses onomatopoeia, a word that sounds like the sound it names. “Croaked” copies the deep sound that frogs make.

Option 2: Who does not love the smell of wet earth after the first rain? — Incorrect. This sentence is a rhetorical question, a question asked for effect, not for an answer. It only means that everyone loves this smell.

Option 3: During exam week, Arjun’s room is a library that never closes. — Incorrect. This sentence uses a metaphor, which says that one thing is another without “like” or “as”. Arjun’s room is called “a library that never closes”.
