3. The following excerpt is an example of which literary element?

"Then took the other, just as fair,
and having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear."

a. rhyme
b. rhythm
c. alliteration
d. simile

(I think the first one is C, but I don't know about the second... maybe A? Please help.)

Thanks Ms. Sue!

You're welcome, Shaquandala.

2 C

3 B
4 A

(I meant 'maybe B' for the second one, but I'm still not sure about that.)

Your first answers are correct.

So you mean, 2. is C, and 3. is B?

Oh, I see.. for 3. it is A, because it does rhyme.
