Choose the sentence that is an example of alliteration:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Little Lata lost her lunch box in the long line outside the library.

Alliteration:

• Alliteration is the same first sound repeated in words that are close together.
• The “l” sound opens “Little”, “Lata”, “lost”, “lunch”, “long”, “line” and “library”.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: The old lift in our building moves as slowly as a government file. — Incorrect. This sentence uses a simile, which compares two different things using “like” or “as”. The slow lift is compared to a government file with “as slowly as”.

Option 2: Rohan’s phone went ping just as the teacher looked at the class. — Incorrect. This sentence uses onomatopoeia, a word that sounds like the sound it names. “Ping” copies the sound of a phone alert.

Option 4: Can anyone really say no to Mummy’s hot aloo parathas on a winter morning? — Incorrect. This sentence is a rhetorical question, a question asked for effect, not for an answer. The speaker means that nobody can say no to the parathas.
