Final Answer:
1. Words that demonstrate alliteration: “Does it drip? / Does it dabble?” and “Made a faint noise / Of a fantasy?”
2. Words that demonstrate true rhyme: “drip” and “dabble” (slant rhyme), “noise” and “fantasy” (not perfect rhyme — likely intended as “noise” and “toys” or similar; but based on text, no perfect rhymes exist — so possibly “drip/dabble” as closest).
3. Example of simile: “Like a little bird” (from “Time” poem — not in “Dream Defined,” so likely error; if forced from “Dream Defined,” none clearly — so perhaps none).
4. Example of metaphor: “Made a faint noise / Of a fantasy?” — “fantasy” is used metaphorically to describe the dream’s sound.
5. Personified word: “Time” (in “Time” poem — “Time’s a picker, nicking homes…” — Time acts like a person).
6. Word being personified: “Time.” What it’s doing: “picking,” “nicking,” “slicing,” “stealing,” “running.”
