[@pardeepgayak]

at "that thought " there is no alliteration sir
as sounds are different in both
"da " and " tha " ??
plz clarify the doubt sir

[@cbseguidance12th]

You're right that sounds are different but in terms of letters, the phrase "that thought" does exhibit alliteration because the letter 't' is repeated at the beginning of both words. Alliteration is based on the repetition of sounds or letters, and in this case, the repeated 't' sound qualifies as alliteration.
