a) alliteration
b) metaphor
c) simile

A) Alliteration

Explanation:

Malcolm  got himself a dictionary  and started meticulously replicating each passage. It took him daily to do the principal page. He would duplicate it full scale and after that read back so anyone might hear what he had composed. He started to recall the words and what they implied. He was intrigued with the information that he was picking up. He completed the An's and went on to the B's. Over some stretch of time, he completed the process of duplicating out the entire lexicon. Malcolm viewed the dictionary  as a miniature encyclopedia. He learned about people and animals, about places and history, philosophy and science.
