Answer: Consonance

Explanation: Consonance is a device where the same consonant sound is repeated in words that are in close proximity. The line 'But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,' exhibits consonance with the repeated 'h' and 't' sounds in 'that', 'he', 'heart's' and 'deep'.

Assonance

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within nearby words. In this excerpt, the repetition of the long "e" sound in "sends," "deep," and "plea" creates an assonant effect.
