The line wheeling freely through the open sky contains an example of
a. alliteration
b. simile
c. assonance
d. oxymoron

C. Assonance

Explanation:

Assonance is a stylistic literary technique that is found in a text when two or more neighboring words (which may or not be separated by a definite article or other short words) have the same vowel sound. In the line "wheeling freely through the open sky" Both bold words have the same vowel sound "ee".

Some others examples of this techniques are "That cat is bad", "Don't fear, dear" and "no man knows the truth"

C. Assonan ce

Explanation:

Assonan ce is the rep etition of a vo wel sou nd or diphth ong in non rhy ming stress ed syll ables.

The rest of the choices are wrong because alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of contiguous words; simile is a straightforward comparison between different things; and oxymoron happens when opposite terms appear in combination.

compare & contrast informative essay/speech

when speaking or writing for the sole purpose of providing information in order to give audience members a good basis for making a decision, you would present an informative speech or essay.   because you wouldn’t want to be persuading the audience by arguing for one type of exercise over the other, you wouldn’t choose a persuasive/argumentative technique.   to fairly, and without bias, present information about the pros and cons of each type exercise, a compare/contrast, informative speech/essay would be the best bet.
