Best answer

  1. In wondrous merry mood – Alliteration (repetition of the ‘m’ sound).
  2. They were so queer, so very queer – Repetition.
  3. And saw him peep within – Tautology (‘peep’ already means to look in, so ‘within’ repeats the idea).
  4. The grin grew broad – Alliteration (‘g’ sound).
  5. And shot from ear to ear – Hyperbole (exaggeration of the size of the grin; ‘ear’ is also repeated).
  6. He broke into a roar – Onomatopoeia.
  7. Ten days and nights with sleepless eye – Transferred Epithet (it is the poet, not his eye, who is sleepless).
