Answer:

1.[The winw sparkled in his eyes and the bells jingled.]

Step-by-step explanation:

The verb sparkled is used in a figurative way to express the idea that his eyes were energetic and exciting as a result of the wine he drank, and the verb jingled is an Onomatopoeia, which is a figurative language that helps the authors create emphasis, by the use of words that imitate the sounds of a natural thing. It creates a sound effect.
