To identify which line of poetry contains an example of alliteration, we need to look for a line where the same consonant sound is repeated in multiple words. Alliteration is when two or more words in a phrase or line of poetry begin with the same sound. Here are the lines again with the letters representing the repeated consonant sound:
A. It was the place where they laughed and the place where they cried.
B. The icicles dropped from the house and shattered like glass.
C. They traveled through the night, yearning for the light.
D. The lazy lizard slithered slowly through the grass.
By analyzing the lines, we find that line D - "The lazy lizard slithered slowly through the grass" - is an example of alliteration. The repeated "s" sound in "slithered slowly" demonstrates alliteration.
Remember, when looking for alliteration, pay attention to the beginning sounds of words in a line or phrase.
