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.
