To determine which of the titles is made more effective by alliteration, we need to understand what alliteration is. Alliteration is a literary device in which the same sound or letter is repeated at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. It is used to create memorable and rhythmic phrases.
Let's analyze the given titles to see if they use alliteration:
A. "Guns: Our Lethal Heritage" - This title does not use alliteration as there are no repeated sounds or letters at the beginning of adjacent words.
B. "Ruby, the Rose of Roslyn" - This title uses alliteration with the repetition of the "R" sound in "Ruby" and "Rose" at the beginning of adjacent words. Therefore, it exhibits alliteration.
C. "Now You See It; Now You Don't" - This title does not utilize alliteration, as there is no repetition of sounds or letters at the beginning of adjacent words.
D. "What's in a Name?" - Similarly, this title does not contain alliteration since there is no repetition of sounds or letters at the beginning of adjacent words.
Based on our analysis, your answer of B, "Ruby, the Rose of Roslyn," is correct. It is the only title among the options that effectively employs alliteration.
