The phrase 'haven under the hill' is an example of

  • A.simile
  • B.metaphor
  • C.alliteration
  • D.personification

Answer: C

The phrase is an example of alliteration.

Alliteration is the repetition of the same initial consonant sound in nearby words. In 'haven under the hill', 'haven' and 'hill' both begin with the same h sound.

It is not a simile or a metaphor, because the ships' harbour is meant literally and no comparison is made. It is not personification either, because the haven is not given human qualities.
