Which detail from the following excerpt of the poem "Casey at the Bat" contains alliteration?

"It rattled in the dell;"
"It pounded on the mountain"
"was advancing to the bat."

Which detail from the lyrics below contains assonance?
Do you wish you could jump
With a basketball and land a slam dunk?
Well, if you can't on Earth, try it on the moon,
There's less gravity—you jump higher like ZOOM!
But on Jupiter, even LeBron
Couldn't dunk 'cause the gravity there is too strong.
Jupiter is heavier—it has more mass,
Mass is the amount of matter that something has.
"Well, if you can't on Earth,"
"There's less gravity—you jump higher"
"try it on the moon,"
"With a basketball and land a slam dunk."

Now an animal's life cycle is sort of the same,
Here's an example of a mammal—hmm, let me explain.
Take a puppy that's inside of its mom,
It's born with its eyes shut—it doesn't know what's going on.
"life cycle is sort of the same,"
"Here's an example of a mammal"
"Hmm, let me explain."
"It doesn't know what's going on"
