Explanation

Alliteration is the literary device where the same consonant sound is repeated at the beginning of words in close proximity, creating emphasis and rhythm. For example, 'Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.' Ellipses refers to omitted text, hyperbole is exaggeration, and simile is a comparison using 'like' or 'as'.
