Answer: D.. Alliteration
Explanation:
The phrase 'The darkness swallowed the town' uses personification, a literary device giving human abilities to non-human things.
The literary device used in the phrase, 'The darkness swallowed the town' is C) Personification. This is because personification is a literary device where human traits are given to non-human things. In this phrase, 'darkness', which is non-human, is given the human attribute of 'swallowing', as if it is a creature consuming the town.
It isn't a simile, because similes use 'like' or 'as' to directly compare two things. This sentence doesn't compare darkness to anything, it gives it human abilities. It isn't a metaphor because it doesn't state that one thing is another in a literal sense. Also, it isn't alliteration because alliteration involves the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words.

A Psalm of Life by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:
Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act,— act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o’erhead!
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
---------
Auspex by: James Russell Lowell (1819-1891)
Y heart, I cannot still it,
Nest that had song-birds in it;
And when the last shall go,
The dreary days to fill it,
Instead of lark or linnet,
Shall whirl dead leaves and snow.
Had they been swallows only,
Without the passion stronger
That skyward longs and sings,--
Woe's me, I shall be lonely
When I can feel no longer
The impatience of their wings!
A moment, sweet delusion,
Like birds the brown leaves hover;
But it will not be long
Before their wild confusion
Fall wavering down to cover
The poet and his song.

The correct answer is C. Stock characters
Explanation:
Stock characters are characters widely used in fictional literary works including horror and suspense genre who are mainly stereotypical and flat. This means these characters do not change during the story but instead follow features of characters widely used in certain genres or types of stories, because of this most of these characters can also be considered as cliches and can be related to social prejudices. These characters also imply the writer or author does not need to create complex and new characters but instead rely on stereotypical ones, which are easy to remember and recognize by the reader as these are familiar characters that appear over and over in different stories of the same genre. Thus, many horror and suspense stories use stereotypical stock characters which readers recognize and relate to them.
