The repetition of the same beginning consonant sound for words spaced close together in a sentence is know as alliteration. i.e. Sally sells sea shells down by the sea shore.
The repetition does not need to be the first consonent, however. Consider: Pretty Pink and PurPle Poodles Proudly Pranced uPon the Promenade during the PuPPy Parade. (note the words purple, upon and puppy)
You can start essay by repeating the question first then your answer.
The use of "an" before a word starting with "x" is incorrect because the sound of "x" is a consonant sound. "An" is used before words that start with a vowel sound, while "a" is used before words that start with a consonant sound. Therefore, it should be "a x" instead of "an x."
Yes. Y is a vowel when it is used or included in a vowel sound, which is frequently. It is only a consonant at the start of a syllable, with the "yuh" sound.
An organizer. Words that start with a vowel sound use "an" instead of "a", including words that start with a silent consonant, such as "honor", as in "It is an honor."

Why don't you look at your question a little closer? I see two words that start with consonant blends. Instead of pronouncing the initial consonants separately, they are blended together. Try pronouncing them together and seeing how they sound.

Mississippi There are probably thousands of words that start that way.
Yes, "rosy red" is an example of alliteration because the words start with the same consonant sound "r."
The articles a and an are used for an unspecified item or person.The form AN is used when the immediately following word begins with a vowel sound (not necessarily a vowel, as with a silent H). The form A is used before a vowel that has a consonant sound.Examples :A large crowdAn unruly crowdBut :An honest man (sounds like ah-nist)A united front (sounds like yoo-ny-ted)A one-armed man (sounds like won)
The letter H is sometimes not pronounced, so the words include hour, honest, honor, and heir.
