Answer 1

Answer:

Alliteration

Explanation:

Alliteration refers to a literary device in which the same initial consonant sound occurs in a number of words that are close together in a series. The use of alliteration enhances the rhythmic properties of a text making it more persuasive and easy to remember. In this case, the author uses alliteration in the words "swivel" and "still."
