Anaphora
Captions available
The idea
Anaphora is the repetition of the same words at the beginning of successive clauses or sentences. The glossary has no headword for it, though it defines alliteration and assonance. It is the commonest rhetorical device in the exam's prose band, and unit twelve returns to it.
In practice
The same opening, repeated.
Where people slip
Absent from the glossary.
