Explanation:

Repetition is something which is being already written and said is repeated. In other words, it refers to the repetition or recurrence of events and actions.

Assonance refer to the sound between syllables of words which resembles with each other nearly. It doesn't rise from consonants but from the rhyming of two or more stressed vowels.

Alliteration is a literary device which is used by the writer to emphasize something that he/she wants to express. To spot an alliteration, it begins with the same consonant sound.

Consonance is the repetition of the consonant sound. In contrary to alliteration it involves just the sound of consonants

Slant rhyme is rhyme wherein the words are similar, however the not with identical sounds.
