Question

what poetic element is most effective in showing the speaker’s admiration for her mother?
imagery
repetition
alliteration

Explanation:

Imagery can create vivid mental pictures and evoke emotions, effectively showing admiration. Repetition emphasizes words or phrases, but may not as powerfully convey admiration as imagery. Alliteration is about sound - similar initial consonant sounds, mainly for auditory effect. Rhyme scheme is about the pattern of rhymes and is more about the musicality of the poem rather than directly expressing admiration.
