Which excerpt illustrates the use of alliteration in this poem? “to what purpose, april, do you return again? ” “not only underground are the brains of men/eaten by maggots.” “you can no longer quiet me with the redness/of little leaves opening stickily.” “life in itself/is nothing,/an empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs.”

to and without are prepositions, so a, b, and d are prepositional phrases. the adverb phrase is c, about the surprise.

explanation:

i believe the answer is: b. mr. head had a long, tube-like face with a rounded open jaw and a short depressed nose.

this is because in the un-revised sentence it said that mr. heads face was long and tube-like, and he had a rounded open jaw. this is not a very grammatically correct because of how it seems to drag on with the and, replaced with, with, makes it sound more fluent in the description.
