Characters, Conflict, and Idioms in "Daughter of Invention" by Julia Alvarez

Question 1 • 26-27 - Humble ISD CR - English I A - 1st Nine Weeks

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

Explanation

Onomatopoeia uses words that imitate sounds. “Jingling” and “tinkling” suggest the light sounds of bells, while “clang” and “clash” imitate louder, harsher sounds. Repeating “bells” emphasizes the word but does not imitate a sound, and “tells” and “outpour” do not imitate sounds here.
