Which term refers to similarity in sound between internal vowels?

• A. Assonance
• B. Alliteration
• C. Apostrophe
• D. Figure of Speech

Answer: (A)

Repeating vowel sounds inside nearby words creates a musical effect called assonance. This device highlights the vowels rather than the consonants, giving a smooth, echoing quality within a line. It’s different from alliteration, which focuses on consonant sounds at the beginnings of words. An apostrophe is when you address someone or something that isn’t present, and a figure of speech is a broad category of expressive language. So the feature described by repeating internal vowel sounds is assonance.
