Read these lines from Emily Dickinson’s poem “A Bird came down the Walk.” Like one in danger, Cautious,
I offered him a Crumb
And he unrolled his feathers
And rowed him softer home—

Than Oars divide the Ocean,
Too silver for a seam—
Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon
Leap, plashless as they swim.

Which line in the poem includes an example of alliteration?

Answer and Explanation:

An alliteration is the repetition of sounds or letters at the beginning of words that are close to each other in a structure. I believe there are two lines in which alliteration can be found in the excerpt provided:

Too silver for a seam—

Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon

In the first line, there is the repetition of the /s/ sound, while in the second one, of the /b/ sound. The words are in quick succession, close to each other, which makes the repetition even more noticeable.

NOTE: I was unable to find this question online to see what the options are. In case you should only choose one line, pick the second one - butterflies / banks.

The answer is: The evidence details how Gandhi saw a man who had been beaten and knew that the man could not leave.Gandhi was well aware of the indentured servants' brutal treatment and he compares it with his previous situation in India, where he couldn't leave his society since, if he crossed the blackwater, he would lose caste. Later, Gandhi encounters a man in terrible conditions, as a result of his work. Gandhi knew that something similar happened to the indentured labourer: they could not leave their jobs because they were "property of his master" and, if they ever tried so, they would be prosecuted and jailed.
