This question is based on General Literary Principles and Appreciation.

Assonance occurs when

Answer Details
Assonance occurs when similar vowel sounds are repeated in a sentence or line of poetry. This literary device involves the repetition of vowel sounds in words that are close to each other to create a musical effect. It is often used in poetry to create rhythm, emphasis, and mood. Examples of assonance include "fleet feet sweep by sleeping geese" and "men sell the wedding bells." In both examples, the repeated vowel sounds (ee and e) create a musical effect that draws the reader's attention to the words and their meaning.
