Read this excerpt from "The Bells” by Edgar Allan Poe.

How it swells!

How it dwells

On the Future! how it tells

Of the rapture that impell

Which lines from “The Bells” by Edgar Allan Poe contain onomatopoeia? Check all that apply.

What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
Keeping time, time, time,
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.
To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells!

If you didn't know, an onomatopoeia is a word that reads like it sounds, things like bang or sizzle. So if I had to guess which statements would be correct I would say B and D. Maybe E but I'm not 100% on that. Let me know if this helped.
