Q. …like a sentinel's tread/The watchful night wind…


1. rhythm


2. simile


3. metaphor


4. alliteration

Answer 1

I think a simile would make the most sense. A simile is where you compare one thing to another using the words "like" or "as". In this case, the author is comparing a sentinel's tread to the watchful night wind.
