read the passage.
"within the shadow of the ship
i watched their rich attire:
blue, glossy green, and velvet black,
they coiled and swam; and every track
was a flash of golden fire."
which use of alliteration reminds readers that these lines from samuel taylor coleridge's "the rime of the ancient mariner are about the water snakes the mariner watches?
o the alliteration between "blue" and "green"
the alliteration between "golden" and "fire"
the alliteration within the word "velvet"
the alliteration between "shadow" and "ship"

the alliteration between “shadow “ and “ship”

Explanation:

D). The alliteration between "shadow" and "ship".

Explanation:

Alliteration is demonstrated as the literary device that involves the repeated or continuous occurrence of identical consonant sounds in at least two or more adjoining or nearby words in a line. Such a device is primarily employed to grab the readers' attention towards a particular element and develop a rhythm and melody to the text.

In the given passage, the use of 'alliteration between the words 'shadow' and 'ship'(repeated use of consonant 's') connotes to recall the image of the Mariner observing the water snakes in the poem 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' authored by Coleridge. Therefore, option D is the correct answer as the other options do not employ alliteration as they do not involve the repetition of similar consonant sounds.
