Question 8 • KS-English Language Arts 9 CR
The second-to-last line, “So dawn goes down to day,” repeats the “d” sound in “dawn,” “down,” and “day.” This alliteration draws attention to dawn fading into ordinary daylight, reinforcing the poem’s reflective sense that beautiful, fleeting things are lost as time passes. The correct choice is “It emphasizes a sense of loss as time passes.”
