Rough roads rattled the rusty wagon

Explanation:
This line tests alliteration—the repetition of initial consonant sounds in nearby words. You can hear the same starting sound in Rough, roads, rattled, and rusty, all marching in a row to create a rhythmic, busily sounding effect that mirrors the roughness of the ride. The final word, wagon, breaks the pattern, but the repeated initial 'r' sounds establish the alliterative effect. This isn’t about reversing word order or about consonant sounds inside words; it’s specifically about the repeated initial sounds at the starts of adjacent words.
