use the drop - down menus to select the sound device illustrated in each example. the waves crash on the shore. the coal for the mole near the pole. dont dive down into the deep end. (drop - down menu options: alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia)

Explanation:

For "The waves crash on the shore":

Onomatopoeia is a sound device where a word imitates the sound it represents. "Crash" imitates the sound of waves hitting the shore. Alliteration involves repeated initial consonant sounds (not the case here), and assonance involves repeated vowel sounds (also not the case here).

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within words. Here, the vowel sound in "coal", "mole", and "pole" (the long "o" sound) is repeated. Alliteration would be repeated initial consonants (these words start with different consonants), and onomatopoeia is sound - imitating words (these don't imitate sounds).

Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds. Here, the initial "d" sound in "don't", "dive", "down", and "deep" is repeated. Assonance is vowel - focused repetition (not the main feature here), and onomatopoeia is sound - imitating words (these don't imitate sounds).

Answer:

onomatopoeia
