To determine which passage is an example of alliteration, we need to identify repetition of initial consonant sounds. Let's analyze the options:
A. "He learned to walk while I was away" - There is no repetition of initial consonant sounds.
B. "And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me" - There is repetition of the "h" sound in "hung," "phone," and "hung up."
C. "See you later, can I have them please?" - There is no repetition of initial consonant sounds.
Therefore, the passage that is an example of alliteration is B. "And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me." It includes repeated initial consonant sounds which create rhythm and interest in the writing.
