Answer:

A). True.

Explanation:

Consonance is exemplified as the literary device that employs repetition of consonant sounds which is contrary to assonance that carries repetition of vowel sounds. Such literary device aids to provide a rhyming structure to the poem and restate the central idea or theme.

As per the question, Emily Dickinson's "The Snake" uses repetition of consonant sound 's'(consonance) to imitate the hissing sound of the snake and to produce a rhyming effect in the poem. It also aids her to reflect her association with the snake and reiterate the idea of her affectionate association with the snake(admiration of nature and creature). Thus, option A is the correct answer as the given assertion is true.
