Question

In which phrases from “The Bells” does Poe use onomatopoeia? Check all that apply.

“From the bells, bells, bells, bells”
“Yet the ear distinctly tells”
“From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells”
“How they clang, and clash, and roar”
“What a horror they outpour”

Answer 1

Check:
- “From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells” — Yes (jingling, tinkling are onomatopoeic)
- “How they clang, and clash, and roar” — Yes (clang, clash, roar are onomatopoeic)

Note: “From the bells, bells, bells, bells” uses repetition for an echo/ringing effect but is not strictly onomatopoeia in the same way as the words above.
