Yes those are both A answers, but I could have put a Harry Potter and LOTR question on every quiz and I didn't want to be too repetitive.

I am really confused and doubtful about your definition of "alliteration".

For me, and my french-from-France learning (and teaching...) your definition applies to anaphoras.

Alliteration=Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled PePPers

Isn't that right also in UK, USA (...anywhere)?

From what I remember from translation studies, alliteration is repetition of the first letter, and assonance is repetition of a sound anywhere in the words. Anaphora is the repetition of a word so it's not really related here.

The quiz was updated May 7 2026, I suspect was added as an acceptable answer then but the QM didn't think about the fact Atticus starts with "attic".

Anne Frank question: 'Achterhuis' should be correct too.
