Question

Which excerpt from Carl Sandburg's "How the Animals Lost Their Tails and Got Them Back Traveling from Philadelphia to Medicine Hat" uses repetition and alliteration?

Answer 1

The correct answer is this one: "They went to the railroad stations and bought tickets for the fast trains and the slow trains and even the trains that back up and run backward instead of where they start to go." This is the line of the excerpt from Carl Sandburg's "How the Animals Lost Their Tails and Got Them Back Traveling from Philadelphia to Medicine Hat" that uses repetition and alliteration.

Answer 2

I think its the sentence that repeats the word "blew" cause its actually the only one using repetition.

-(A big wind blew up and blew and blew till all the tails of the animals blew off.)
