Solution

The example of a subtle use of alliteration in the options provided is A. "Matt took a lot of time making tea." This is because alliteration is the repetition of the same initial consonant sound in a series in close succession. In this sentence, the 't' sound is repeated in "took", "lot", "time", and "tea", but they are not in immediate succession, making the alliteration subtle. The other options have strong alliteration because the same initial consonant sound is repeated in immediate succession.
