Which lines in this excerpt from Elizabeth Bishop's "The Fish" use assonance?
1. He was speckled with barnacles,
2. fine rosettes of lime,
and infested
3. with tiny white sea-lice,
and underneath two or three
rags of green weed hung down.
4. While his gills were breathing in
the terrible oxygen
--the frightening gills,
5. fresh and crisp with blood, that can cut so badly—
6. I thought of the coarse white flesh
packed in like feathers,
the big bones and the little bones,

The right answer is 2, 3, and 4 lines. I got 5/5
I am doing this because other answers in brainly are wrong


Respuesta :

Assonance is a figure of speech poets often use to create a sound effect in their poems. It refers to the repetition of the same vowel in numerous words within one line. Having this in mind, I believe that the lines in this excerpt which use assonance are 2, 3, and 4.
