Is susie saw seashells at seashore an example of alliteration or onomatopoeia?

This is an example of alliteration.

Here's why:

* Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sound at the beginning of words (like "Susie saw seashells").

* Onomatopoeia is the use of words that imitate the sounds they represent (like "buzz", "crash", or "meow").

The sentence "Susie saw seashells at the seashore" doesn't use any words that mimic sounds.
