Solution
Alliteration
Explanation:
The repeated consonant sounds in phrases such as “birds and beasts” create alliteration. The repetition gives force and rhythm to Cassius’s speech. The lines do not directly compare two things, so metaphor and simile are unsuitable; the question focuses on sound rather than symbolic meaning.
