Solution

The sound device expressed by the bolded syllables in the passage from Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” is alliteration. Alliteration is a literary device where words in quick succession begin with the same letter or sound. In this case, the words "weak" and "weary" both start with the same 'w' sound, which is a clear example of alliteration.
